OK, when my users say, "hey, why doesn't cgdb work on mac os x anymore?", I'll tell them either, "add support to cgdb yourself" or "no, really, it's a good thing that apple ported gdb to Mac OS X and cgdb doesn't work". This is literally the position I'm in. How do you suggest I reason about the possibilities I have? Do you have a better possibility for me? Bob Rossi
