Subject: night of the living dead - gdb won't let me kill!

Howdy all!

I'm using the latest cygwin gdb, g++, and emacs to port some complex
code from windows to linux. First I ported to cygwin, then to
linux. Worked great!

But there was one fly in the ointment. While using gdb I did a kill so
that I could rebuild the app. Make (or rather the linker) wouldn't let
me overwrite the executable file until I had actually quit gdb.

Is there some kind of file locking issue here?

Thanks!

Ed
