i'd expect the simulator to initialize itself when the target was set to "sim" 
and then if the user tried to run without loading a program yet, gdb would 
tell you it is unable to run because nothing has been loaded

either that or the lower sim layers lack state checks to make sure they are in 
situation where they can run
