I second the motion. This "feature" (assuming it is not a bug) is
really awkward. So far, the only remedy I found was to issue "br main()"
(or something like that) as a first command to gdb. However, this
could be as well done by gdb itself, couldn't it?

Is this a right way to work with gdb (I am also a gdb-newbie)?
