Nick,
Thanks for responding, but I object to closing 5208 for two reasons:
* With Emacs 23.1.90.1, the ^M characters appear under both Mac OS
10.4.11 and Mac OS 10.5.8.
* With Emacs 22.3.1, the ^M characters do not appear in Mac OS X
10.4, nor do they appear in Mac OS X 10.5.
To put it another way:
--------------------------------------
| | Emacs 22 | Emacs 23 |
|----------------|----------|----------|
| Mac OS 10.4.11 | No ^M | Yes ^M |
| Mac OS 10.5.8 | No ^M | Yes ^M |
--------------------------------------
The ^M issue is correlated with the version of Emacs; not the version
of underlying operating system, and not the gdb binary supplied by the
underlying operating system.
I understand that support for an FSF gdb would be more of a priority
than support for an Apple gdb. However, since M-x gud-gdb worked
correctly on Mac OS X with Emacs 22, I feel that it should also work
correctly on Mac OS X with Emacs 23.
