gdb cannot find "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S"

Hi,

I have an issue that appears when I'm running gdb from inside ddd. I
will load and run a program and let it sit a few minutes (waiting on
stdin input, if that matters). After it has sat a little bit, I will
get an error dialog that says "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S No
such file or directory". gdb will then repeatedly output the
following:

file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1

(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb)  file: "../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S", line number: 1
(gdb) Continuing.

Inspection via strace shows that it is repeatedly attempting to open()
the mentioned file.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04, gdb 7.7.1, ddd 3.3.12. I figured I would
ask you folks rather than the ddd folks since this seems like a gdb
issue.

Do you have any idea why gdb expects that file to exist?

Thanks!
