Thats understandable. However, given that MI was introduced in GDB 5.0, I
think there should be something in the manual explaining this as it seems to
create a lot of confusion. It needs to be written by someone who understands
the issue i.e not myself. I believe that operation is asynchronous with
certain targets, although I have never managed to create these conditions,
even with gdbserver over TCP.
