  I agree.

  The underlying reason for the changes was the idea to catch fatal
signals in normal circumstances.  i.e. rather than simply exiting, print
out a stack trace of where the problem came from.

  Once that code went in, the normal gdb workflow didn't work.  Which
necessitated fixes to the debugging code... and down the rabbit hole we
went.

  <sigh>  lldb.  It hates people.
