There's a longstanding bug in gdb that it can't be run in the background. Normally this isn't such a big deal, but when running insight it is natural to try to run it in the background. Tonight I wanted to work on this bug. So I ran insight in the background, and then tried to attach to it like "gdb gdb 27783". This didn't work -- my parent gdb just hung. I had to go to original xterm and type "fg" to put the hung gdb into the foreground before the "outer" gdb could fully attach to it. This seems like a bug to me.
