(Well, at any rate, I never use it.) I recommend that you avoid it too unless you have some very compelling reason for turning it on. "set non-stop" is probably less buggy in spite of the fact that it's a much more recent addition. (The async stuff has been in GDB since 1999.) Still, I would think that using non-stop will turn up more bugs in gdb than not using it. So, again, I'd suggest avoiding it at least for the early phases of your prototype. At some point, of course, you'll want to turn it on. Kevin
