Subject: add-symbol-file prompt disappears


ODDITY:
the (y/n) prompt does not appear after invoking add-symbol-file.
 
SCENARIO:
I am attempting to debug via a gdb-remote server and using an inferior debugger. I thus invoke ddd like this:
 
ddd --debugger my_gdb
 
DDD then dutifully starts.
 
Prior to connecting to the target, I must load the symbol table with the "add-symbol-file" command with address offsets.
 
Like so:
add-symbol-file module.ko 0xe11a4000 -s .bss 0xe11c5c0c -s .data 0xe11c5940
 
Usually, I would be presented with a (y/n) prompt, but now I get nothing but the (gdb) prompt appears and no more.
 
If I invoke my_gdb directly, I can perform the add-symbol-file operation and everything is fine. The debugger launches and works as advertised.
 
OWN SUGGESTION
I will also try to put the add-symbol-file in a batch command to see if this gets around the problem tomorrow.
 
BR
Adam
