novice question about gdbserver

[Gregoire Banderet]

Hi,

My application crashes occasionally on my ARM target, and I use 
gdbserver to debug it. The application creates threads every 5 seconds 
and I often need to hit "Enter" after the following message:
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---

As the application crashes after 1 hour, I do not want to stay in front 
of my terminal hitting "Enter" several times per minutes.

As there a way to avoid the "Type <return> to continue" message?

Thanks,
Greg.

Here is the appropriate location in the manual:

Yes: set pagination off

But you shouldn't get a paging request after that message if you
upgrade to a current version of GDB; I believe that bug was fixed in
the last two years at some point.
