note about how-to-debug-cygwin.txt

In the how-to-debug-cygwin.txt there is listed how to run application
using strace in gdb:

To debug this scenario, do something like this:

    bash$ gdb -nw yourapp.exe
    (gdb) dll cygwin1
    (gdb) l dll_crt0_1
    (gdb) b <<first line in the function>>
    (gdb) run
    (gdb) set strace.active=1
    (gdb) continue


According to winsup/cygwin/include/sys/strace.h the class member active
is known now as _active.

I have tried to get this running in gdb (cvs), but there is no output in
gdb. May be I have understand something wrong and the output is printed
somewhere else, but the sources tell me that strace uses
OutputDebugString(), which should be catched by gdb.
Or does gdb print it only when the application is currently running in
gdb and not in the gdb prompt ?

Regards
 Ralf
