gdb halts on non-errors

["Øivind"]

Hi,
Debugging issues with GDB currently a bit of a pain because it 
halts on several different non-errors. Could you advise on how to 
get around this. Examples on places it will halt are below. The 
first ones are actually Vibe specific, but the last one has 
nothing to do with Vibe, so I guess this is a GDB setup issue, or 
a D issue. Any thoughts?

I posted this in the Vibed forums, and this is Sönke's reply:

"I know the same is true when debugging on Windows/VisualD. It 
can be avoided there by disabling the interception of certain 
exception types and I think the same should be possible for GDB 
by disabling the proper user signals - however I haven't done 
this myself, so I can't say which are the correct signals. Maybe 
someone else has more experience there, I'd try on the D forums."
