Insight init error message

Insight init error message

[Paul Breed]

On my cygwin installation insight has a problem with persistent settings.

If I have an empty  gdbtk.ini available then insight seems to save 
preference data
in that file, but the next time I run insignt then is gives me the error:

Error: can't read "PREFS_state(gdb/load/default-hostname value)":no such 
element in array

If I choose the file->target settings->dialog then it works properly.
If I do not select that then when I try to run it does not show the connect 
to target dialog and fails with the error.

My guess looking at the ini file is that the system is not properly saving 
the target as remote serial and
is defaulting to remote tcp when it tries to connect.

This sounds like a real bug.  I will try to reproduce it.

Thanks for reporting it.
