Yeap we know that :( I saw you're using the GDB/MI prototype I wrote a couple 
of years ago. Do you have any plan to switch to a better implementation of 
GDB/MI? maybe something we can share with other projects too. If I'm not 
getting wrong there is a GDB/MI parser developed by the GDB community.. Maybe 
we can use that one.
