Hi Eduardo,

I don't understand. If I compile and run your program on a sample
inferior, tgdb_driver and your driver act the same. What is the exact
difference you are seeing?

With your driver:
$ ./driver ./test
GNU gdb 6.3-debian

This GDB was configured as "i386-linux".
(gdb) No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command.
file ./test
Reading symbols from /home/bob/cvs/cgdb/cgdb/builddir/tgdb/tgdb-base/src/tmp/test...done.
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
(gdb) (gdb) Quit

With tgdb_driver:

$ ./tgdb_driver ./test

(tgdb) Quit
(tgdb)

In both cases, I ran
$ kill -s INT PID

This is tested on a Debian box, with GDB GNU gdb 6.3-debian.
