Ah, I do this
(gdb) breakpoint X
(gdb) run
...
breakpoint X
(gdb) c 1000
SIGSEGV
(gdb) info b
breakpoint X hit 20 times
ignore next 980 hits
the I know that to do
c 19
whenever I hit X after starting; when I 'm debugging, I rerun the
program often, and I prefer to start afresh every time I do.

I'd be just as happy with a variable option (defaulting to off) that
does this.
