Using gdb

[jalex]

I just tried using gdb to step through an app and received the
following message:

address@hidden bayes]$ gdb bayes

recognized
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I've never seen that error before from gdb.  Oddly enough, for a file
that's not in executable format, it runs pretty well. :-)

This is a plain-vanilla version of gdb taken from a redhat mirror
site.  I know that previous versions of gdb required a special patch
in order to work with swarm.  Is this the case here as well?

Thanks,

Jason
