Does this indicate that the behaviour I describe was a bug? I was not
certain and thought maybe it was a feature; or otherwise that I was
going about in a wrong manner, I am quite new to gdb.


I don't have root access to the box in question, and would like to be
certain that the behaviour I described is fixed in the newest version
before I nag the system administrator / attempt an install in $HOME.


Best Regards
