I've been getting a lot of segment faults running gdb 4.6 under emacs.  In
general this seems to happen if I re-compile my executable before running
it again in gdb.  The only way I've found to avoid this problem is to
explicitly re-load the symbol table after compilation and then reset all
the break points.  I used to have to do this with the old gdb.  The new gdb
seems to have a feature wherein it auto-loads the symbol tables and then
resets the break points.  This seems to be what is crashing.
