Weird behaviour: Gdb runs a login shell?!

[Anthony Briggs]

Hi,

I'm having trouble running gdb on FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE. Instead of it 
running my binary (fracas), it seems to run a shell instead - a login 
shell, since it prints up my ssh stuff and a cookie.

Removing the ssh stuff doesn't seem to make any difference, and I 
can't find any similar situations via Google. There's nothing that I 
can see in the online manual or the man pages which applies to my 
problem. I've tried running gdb on other binaries, but the same thing 
happens. Rebooting hasn't fixed the problem either.

I've attached output from gdb and some commands that might be 
relevant. Is there any other info you need? Or anything I can do to 
help track it down further?

Thanks,

Anthony
