Thats right, or you can just use M-x gdb with the current version in CVS.

This shouldn't happen. Something has clearly gone wrong. It may be that
your version of gdb isn't generating a full set of annotations. If you
type "gdb -ann=3 a.out" in an xterm you should get something like:

^Z^Zbreakpoints-invalid

^Z^Zframes-invalid


^Z^Zpre-prompt
(gdb) 
^Z^Zprompt

The ^Z characters might be printed differently but you need the pre-prompt and
prompt annotations. What do you get?

Please post any reply to me and cc to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org
