Hi,

For a long, long time now, Insight has, for historical reasons, disallowed
the debugging of executables with no debug information when opened with
the File->Open... menu.

Anyone see any reason whatsoever that this restriction shouldn't be nuked?
Keith

PS. Proposed patch:

Perhaps a warning would be more appropriate.  It seems to me this dialog was 
inserted because someone was upset that GDB wasn't detecting that he was 
trying to run a source debugger on an executable that couldn't be debugged.
