"works for me", modulo I tend to gloss over the messages gdb prints at
start up. :-)
OTOH, I'm all for keeping the code simple too.
One thing I don't like about my patch is that I'd rather only print
the warning once too.
So how about for now just enhancing the warning at start up, and not
printing anything later on.
