Most of the  snapshots worked just fine for me ... ;o)

Linux kernel 2.4.13, glibc 2.2.3, latest gdb used either alone or
through any other inteface. The behaviour is the same.

I place .gdbinit in a directory with executable, do:

gdb --cd=[directory where executable is located] executable

and none of the init commands in .gdbinit is executed. Example of one
of my .gdbinits:

set print sevenbit off
handle SIGUSR1 nostop noprint
handle SIGUSR2 nostop noprint
handle SIGWAITING nostop noprint
handle SIGLWP nostop noprint
handle SIGPIPE nostop
handle SIGALRM nostop
handle SIGHUP nostop
handle SIGTERM nostop noprint
set args --one-thread --datadir=/usr/local/var --skip-stack-trace --core-file --skip-grant-tables --language=/mnt/hdc/Sinisa/mysql-4.0/sql/share/english/

What other info do you require ??
