So what did you check out? Trunk or a branch?

You should use the gdb 6.0 branch for best results. I've once again
heard rumors on the gdb list that a release of 6.0 is imminent. (Of
course, it was imminent several months ago, too. Nonetheless, I
recommend using the 6.0 branch.) Use the branch "gdb_6_0-branch" to
check out those sources.

tclCmdAH.c:670 is the very last line of Tcl_ExitObjCmd (after the
"return TCL_OK;"). This again beckons me to ask: what version of insight
are you building? What command did you use to check it out (or what
tarball did you download)?
