 Have you found a bug?
 =====================
 
    If you are not sure whether you have found a bug, here are some
 guidelines:
 
    * If the debugger gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that
      is a GDB bug.  Reliable debuggers never crash.
 
    * If GDB produces an error message for valid input, that is a bug.
      (Note that if you're cross debugging, the problem may also be
      somewhere in the connection to the target.)
 
    * If GDB does not produce an error message for invalid input, that
      is a bug.  However, you should note that your idea of "invalid
      input" might be our idea of "an extension" or "support for
      traditional practice".
 
    * If you are an experienced user of debugging tools, your suggestions
      for improvement of GDB are welcome in any case.
