Judging by the status message at the bottom "Program has
terminated, 'Run' to restart", the GUI is misunderstanding the
reason that execution was stopped.

When I have a chance, I'll trace the remote protocol packets.

My 5.0 version had other problems (source window broken with
some some "inactove pane" message), and I don't generally run
the GUI, so I couldn't personally swear that it ever worked
right with the remote target.

The GUI did work OK with RDI target (after a few RDI-specific
fixes that have since been incorporated).  But I do all my
loading via the console with the RDI target -- which I can't get
to work with the remote target either :/

I suppose may have broken my GDB stubs somehow, but since
things work fine in command-line mode, that seems unlikely.

I'll look into it more when I get back from a week in England.
