I'm using gdb 3.4 on a DECstation 3100.

I have a program that has an alarm go off every 60 seconds. While I'm
stepping through other parts of the program, the alarm goes off and
now I'm stepping through sigvec.s. Using a 'finish' doesn't seem to
work to bring me back where I was.

Using DEC's not very good implementation of dbx, I'm not even aware
the alarm has gone off (although the function called by the alarm is
called). I prefer this method since usually I'm concentrating on
the function I'm stepping.

Also, when I first started using gdb I became very annoyed at its
asking me whether I really wanted to run, kill or quit when my program
was still running. I wouldn't have requested a run, kill or quit if I
didn't want it to! I fixed this "feature" by defining a
DONT_ASK_STUPID_QUESTIONS.
