--- Comment #11 from Daniel O'Connor <darius at dons dot net.au> ---
I just ran into this issue recently using a Black Magic probe to debug an STM32
and I think it is also a GDB bug.

When this is triggered you have to kill GDB because ctrl-c does not interrupt
it.

See this bug report: https://github.com/blackmagic-debug/blackmagic/issues/190

Notably GDB is not hung, nor is the BMP probe - GDB is simply stuck in a loop
talking to the BMP setting breakpoints etc.

I don't really know where to start looking in the GDB code to see why it blocks
being interrupted though so it's hard to see how difficult it would be to
mitigate the problem.

Obviously with the 'nop' work around it's not a big deal but it was quite a
frustrating experience until I learnt that :)
