So currently on `chmod 666 .gdbinit' it no longer traps...
BTW do people really need this feature? I always use my alias gdbn to force
-nx to not load any .gdbinit, as I generally do not expect which project which
way changes my GDB behavior.
src/gdb/.gdbinit is the most invasive one, it breaks GDB completely. :-)
Other projects incl. bash could also use such `$PWD/.*rc' reading policies.
They do not.
Thanks,
