I tried to quit gdb and got this:
(gdb) q
The program is running. Exit anyway? (y or n) y
/home/tromey/gnu/Trunk/build/gcc/jc1: No such file or directory.
(gdb)
Using `q' again got me out. But why did this happen? I had deleted
the executable in question, sure -- but I think it doesn't make sense
for gdb to prevent me from quitting in this case.
This is with:
fleche. gdb --version

I don't know what code is trying to re-open the executable file, but
it wouldn't surprise me that GDB tries to open it, gets an error, and
throws the exception back to the command loop.
Could you file a PR for this?
