The control-c question is a good one -- I'd also like to know the
answer. Most things in gdb are interruptible this way.
Christian> If so, any way to do this download on a background thread?
I think gdb can't support this without some additional re-architecting.
It's a good goal, but I think I would not require it in order to get the
patch in.
