okay, i shall do as you suggested.  


To the list: BTW, this 'gdb emacs' will be a huge learning curve for
me, and i will bug folks (is this the right forum or should i try
g.e.help?) for help.. instead, if a GDB expert would like to pick this
bug-report up, that would be cool :).. 

If not, here's the first snafu i ran into (i get to my umd.edu unix
account through an ssh over QVT/Term on win2000)---->

gdb seems to have stopped..  typing 'continue' doesn't help :(.. is
this because i don't have display available?  But i can't run Xwindows
here.. :(

BTW, This directory emacs/src above is indeed the directory from
emacs21 is built.. this is the one containing dired.c, for
example.. and if i chase links, its fullname is:
student1:/afs/glue.umd.edu/project/glue/e/emacs/21.1/emacs-21.1/src: 



the problem above seems pretty emacs-source specific.. but if this it
OT, apologies..
