I tried out GDB yesterday. After a good start, experimenting on an
application of a few thousand lines, it suddenly crashed, leaving the
hard disk light on. The only option was to reboot! As a result my hard
disk is SERIOUSLY CORRUPTED :-((, and I'm writing this on another machine.

I think GDB crashed when the program called ScreenUpdate() (from pc.h ,I
think thats the right function name), although the function had been
called with the same arguments previously. My application doesn't have
any bugs (as far as I know), I was just using it to test GDB.
