I didn't know that. Indeed, running gdb --annotate=1 ./main works fine.

And that appears to be the problem. I noticed yesterday that my
version of gdb doesn't send pre-prompt/prompt annotations even though
the gdb manual (also installed by Apple) mentions them. I've tried to
send them manually whenever it appeared necessary and that seemed to
make things work more or less (I ran into other issues).

So this is a bug in Apple's gdb. Maybe it is time to upgrade...

Sorry for the false bug report. But since I actually brought my ibook
to work today I'm attaching some sample gdb output when run from the
shell and gdb-debug-log anyway.

Thanks for the prompt response (pun intended),

Peter
