Open Program: waiting until GDB (or dbx .. ) gets ready..., and i wait&wait & wait ....

[Sven Kersse]

hidyall,

needed to recompile ddd for avoiding some lex bufferoverflows ,
fetched the newest release 331,
ddd compiled nice out of the box without much warnings but ..
when I launch this very nice tool ...

it forks gdb and waits for it ad infinitum(doesnt matter what underlying
debugger i use dbx..)

i'm using :
address@hidden:/srcbrowse/svke/ddd-3.3.1 >gdb -v

the same gdb works fine with 321
the output of the older release looks like:
