And it seems that this script has *really* confused things, because when
I tried to quit, I got this:

(gdb) q
The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y
error while killing target (killing anyway): assertion failure on line
300 of
"/SourceCache/gdb/gdb-1469/src/gdb/macosx/macosx-nat-inferior-util.c" in
function "macosx_inferior_suspend_ptrace": status.value.sig ==
TARGET_SIGNAL_STOP

warning: error on line 2179 of
"/SourceCache/gdb/gdb-1469/src/gdb/macosx/macosx-nat-inferior.c" in
function "macosx_kill_inferior_safe": (os/kern) failure (0x5x)
