  Thanks!

  I never used this command before -- so I tried it:

     M-x debug-on-entry RET gud-break

     When trying to set a breakpoint, I got a *Backtrace*:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  file-name-directory(nil)
  gud-format-command("break %d%f:%l" 4)
  gud-call("break %d%f:%l" 4)
  #[257 "?\205	\301\302\"\207" [gud-running gud-call "break %d%f:%l"] 4 "Set breakpoint at current line.\n\n(fn ARG)" "p"](4)
  apply(#[257 "?\205	\301\302\"\207" [gud-running gud-call "break %d%f:%l"] 4 "Set breakpoint at current line.\n\n(fn ARG)" "p"] 4)

  Thanks.
