Ctrl-c problem

[Richard Brunelle <rbrunelle@envitech.com>]

Hi,

I'm doing kernel debugging through the use of gdb running on a 
development machine and a gdb stub running on a target machine. The 
latter is acheive with the kgdb patch applied to a kernel 2.4.18. This 
patch allows me to connect a development PC to a target PC through a 
serial line. It allows me to remotely debug a patched kernel. The 
connection works fine, I'm able to connect gdb to the target machine at 
boot time (target remote /dev/tyS0). The problem is not hardware. I am 
able to step in the kernel code at this time. After a few step, I resume 
the execution of the kernel with the continue command.

My problem comes when I want to stop the execution of the target kernel 
with gdb. Usually Ctrl-c is used to stop the execution of the running 
process. So I hit Ctrl-c but the kernel never stop.

Is there any configuration for gdb to enable Ctrl-c?

Does anyone ever experience this problem?
