I didn't even know that this is possible. Thanks for pointing it out.

Your crystal ball told you the truth. In my session, it did not
properly load src/.gdbinit as I started gdb without specifying an
executable file as command line args. In this case, the line 'set
$dummy = main + 8' in .gdbinit issues an error and script execution
stops. Hence, all the 'handle' commands that follow were not executed.
I must have overlooked that. I'm sorry.

Thank you.
