Insight does nothing but popup "crash" windows

[Phil Edwards <phil@jaj.com>]

I find myself needing to debug a program, and it's just too complicated
for the character-based GDB, so I built CVS GDB with the gui enabled.

Initially it failed to run the program because the target was not valid.
After I figured out that I needed to set the target to "exec" myself,
and did that, the weirdness began.

I clicked on a call in main() to set a breakpoint.  Clicked "Run".  "Run"
pops up a window asking if I want to quit this debugging session.  I click
"No".  It pops up another window asking if I want to create a core file
of GDB.  I click "No".  It goes back to waiting for input.

Doesn't proceed with the program.  Doesn't move the current-source-line
highlighting.  Doesn't do anything.  Clicking "Next" or "Step" or, in fact,
any button at all, just pops up those two windows.
