Hi, 

In gdb 4.7, the 'show directories' command fails when the directory
search path has more than 255 characters, because of the limitation of
the "printf_filtered" function.

This small bug is making xxgdb loop during his startup.

I found the bug on SunOS 4.1.1 with gcc 2.2.2, but it should append
everywhere.

A fix is included below:

+  printf_filtered("\n", stdout); 
 }
