Hello Paul,

Sorry, I have not used gdb for a while a forgot about asking the debugger
to continue.

I followed your request and you can see the log file attached to this email.

I modified the file 2 times : the first time, no issue I can save the file
but when I try to modify it a second time, emacs tells me :changed on disk;
really edit the buffer .....

Thanks for your help,

Cheers,

Bertrand
