RE: "unable to read input" errors when testing cdb on Mac OS X

Two things pop into mind that might be useful and might not (disclaimer:
I haven't read your notes very carefully)...

1) Did you remember the blank line at the end of the file?

2) Make sure that there's not a line-termination incompatibility issue,
such as Unix/cdb expecting "newlines" (ASCII 10) and OS X expecting
"carriage returns" (ASCII 13), etc...
