Re: Faster stepping amidst breakpoints

As far as I can remember (you know how much GDB development I do

I see this as an acceptable outcome of a debugger crash. I am guessing
that in most cases, people debug their program, and then want it killed,
so leaving the inferior behind with breakpoints inserted won't matter
much

It would matter if you were debugging a live real-world app...
