I've reverted a change from 2006-03-10 which means that "M-x gdba" should
work for this case now.

But are you saying that "M-x gdb" worked from 2006-01?

If you are I'll investigate further, but if not I'd rather not hack it any
further to try to get it to work.  I would prefer to move the "--fullname"
operation out to another command after the release, assuming the new mode is
well received.

That might be a bit too hairy, the user might specify no init file (-nx),
an init file by a different name (-x)...
