RE: Getting pissed off by gdb. Please help with stepping in.

I'd say it is useful because it matches the documentation.  "s" is
documented as "run until you're at a different source line".  In
foo(bar()), the source line you come to after exit from bar() is the
call to foo(), not the first line of foo -- that would take "s 2".
