Actually, I think this is one of those inscrutable errors that go to
stderr in the brief time when there is no stderr as gdb is starting
up.

I've been discussing with Keith Seitz the best way to deal with these.
I have a really simple patch that just delays freeing the console until
the very last second.  This causes init.tcl errors to show up on the
console.

I don't really like this solution because if insight is started via a
mouse click you still get a flashing console with a stroboscopic
error message.

We were discussing trapping startup errors and displaying them in
a pop-up window but I don't think there is any simple mechanism for
doing that.
