Problems with new interrupt feature in 3.3.x and GDB 5.0

[jimix]

Hello,

We have been experiencing problems with all 3.3.x builds of DDD that I believe
are related to the new 'issue commands while running' feature.  What happens
is, DDD keeps sending 'continue' commands to the GDB session, even while
running.  This is usually just a minor annoyance, but sometimes it breaks our
debugging session (breaks don't occur properly, next/step's end up just
continuing, etc.).  This does not occur on 3.2.x or any other previous
versions we had been using.  Here is the relevant info:

> ddd --configuration

Is there a way to turn this new feature off?  I will probably just try to find
what kind of code changes were made for this feature between 3.2.x and 3.3.x
and do this myself, as we don't mind pressing 'interrupt', but if someone
could point out the changes for me (or where to start looking) I'd be much
obliged.

Thanks,
Mark Anderson
