Ever used GDB to debug a program that switches its stdin to binary?  Ever
tried to print a backtrace or disassemble a function, or do something else
that causes GDB to print more than a screenful of info?  If so, then you 
prbably know that the only thing that will help you after that is 
Ctrl-Alt-Del, right?

Well, help is on its way.  Apply the patch below to GDB sources, and life 
begins again!
