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.
