Debugging gdb with gdb

[Salman Khilji]

I am running gdb under gdb.

Lets assume gdb starts mygdb.  I issue the run command in (gdb) without 
setting any breakpoints anywhere.  mygdb comes up and the prompt now says 
(mygdb) instead of (gdb).  I want to put a break point somewhere inside the 
mygdb code---not the program that mygdb is going to debug.  However if I 
issue the break command, the break point is going to be set in the program 
that (mygdb) is going to debug---not in mygdb itself.

So the question is:  How do I temporarily stop the target application in 
gdb---set a break point in the target---then continue?  This is useful in 
GUI applications as well.
