In the following sequence, gdb cannot list the source code the first time, and can the second time. It seems to me that gdb ought to be able to find the source code both times. betty% cat > foo.c main() { write(1, "hi.\n", 4); } betty% gcc -g foo.c -o foo betty% foo hi. betty% mkdir bar betty% cd bar betty% gdb ../foo GDB 3.4, Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
