[maemo-developers] Hibernation of applications during ptrace

[From: Tollef Fog Heen]

* Eero Tamminen 

| You're just not pressing the "Enter" one more time after you type
| "cont"?  If your application crashes, the enter waiting in Gdb
| readline buffer will then cause Gdb immediately to repeat the previous
| command and continue the process (which then promptly exits)...
| 
| This is very annoying Gdb behaviour, it should empty readline
| buffer before getting new input from the developer.

This is very useful gdb behaviour when you are stepping through a 500
line function since you can then just do «n» and then peck enter.

I'm sure there's a configuration twiddle you can do somewhere to turn
this off if you don't want it.
