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.
