It's the GNU DeBugger. Very helpful to figure out why your programs crash.
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/gnu/gdb-4.16.tar.gz
Someone (try the FAQ) wrote some simple intructions on it. Basic idea is:
gdb bin/circle lib/core
bt
p (variables here, such as buf, *ch, and such to print)
quit
bt = backtrace of funtions called (with line numbers)
p = print
If you don't get cores, then just debug the program with gdb bin/circle and
then run.
If you run win95, then forget it (for the most part). :)
