Correction to my previous posting: This was indeed a bug in 3.2.95.

When entering a command, DDD 3.2.95 checks whether it's user-defined.
If it is, DDD updates about everything (including the execution
arrow).

The problem was that your user-defined command contains upper-case
letters, but GDB 5.0 lists the command in lower case.  These two did
not match, so DDD treated the command as not being user-defined (in
which case it updates nothing).

This problem is now fixed and will be in DDD 3.3 (to be released
during this week).

Thanks and best wishes,

Andreas
