That's okay. Just look at how long it has taken me to take a peek at
it!! Shame on me.

This seems reasonable. I will run it through the testsuite just to make
sure. :-)

Hmm. That's kinda goofy. That means that startup code is being short-
circuited when a warning message appears.
You know, at one time, we could actually pop the GUI up BEFORE we tried
to load the executable. I really wish I knew why this stopped working
several years ago. :-(

Ah, yeah, that can do that. The problem is that although insight
*largely* does not parse gdb output, things like the register and memory
windows do get the output of several gdb functions (most notably
val_print). Sometimes the warnings come with the values, and insight can
get confused. One of these days I'll track all these buggers down...

I only have one comment. I would prefer that we discuss the warning
portion of the patch separately: we can make those warnings ignorable.
Perhaps we can suppress warnings (to a dialog) during startup or
something. In any case, I don't think we want to ignore an internal
error, do we? Hmm. I guess there are actually different levels of
internal error? Some critical and some not?
What do you think?
