Description Tom Tromey 2003-03-04 21:38:00 UTC 
[Converted from Gnats 1120]

I tried to quit gdb and got this:

(gdb) q
The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y
/home/tromey/gnu/Trunk/build/gcc/jc1: No such file or directory.
(gdb)

Using `q' again got me out.  But why did this happen?  I had deleted
the executable in question, sure -- but I think it doesn't make sense
for gdb to prevent me from quitting in this case.


This is with:

fleche. gdb --version

I tried with 6.8 and now it does successfully exit.
