From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Braxton Thomason To: James Ingham Cc: insight@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Re: GDB Console Q Date: Thu, 02 Mar 2000 11:00:00 -0000 Message-id: References: <14526.44844.697200.155056@leda.cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 2000-q1/msg00110.html Thanks guys! The command "tk gdb_restore_fputs" did correct the problem, however, I cannot seem to reproduce the error with the debug window open... I will continue running the deubg window, and see what happens... thanks, brax.
