It is not Insight, it is GDB.  Except for the fact that Insight should
be catching this error and it is not.  I will add a catch in there early

I have never seen this symptom though.  What is the host and target
platform you are using?  The GDB target code that deals with this things
varies a lot.  I know it uses ptrace...
