(gdb) info break
No breakpoints or watchpoints.

(gdb) handle SIGTRAP stop print pass
SIGTRAP is used by the debugger.
Are you sure you want to change it? (y or n) y
Signal        Stop      Print   Pass to program Description
SIGTRAP       Yes       Yes     Yes             Trace/breakpoint trap
(gdb) run 
Starting program: /home/larsi/src/emacs/mystery/src/emacs 

Program terminated with signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
The program no longer exists.

This is with a fresh checkout.  I'm starting to think there's a bug in
the version of gdb on Debian/bookworm that the current trunk is somehow
hitting.  Perhaps I should just try to bisect the current trunk -- this
started happening this past week.
