I'd imagine this is it, but it's impossible to tell without debugging the TTY state. When you hit ^C, that doesn't necessarily cause anything to happen. The TTY subsystem sees ^C, and may or may not generate a SIGINT to the foreground process group depending on the tty settings; try checking using stty -F, for instance. Then the foreground process group is X, not GDB; if the SIGINT is blocked or ignored, it won't be delivered, so GDB can't intercept it at delivery. Using ^C is not always reliable. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
