    Richard may have a Debian-patched GDB which complains if the .gdbinit
    file is world writable.

If this is a Debian patch, maybe that explains things.
I probably did something to make .gdbinit read-only
that worked with CVS but not with BZR.

Would it work for me to make my copy of .gdbinit read-only
but continue updating it with bzr?  Can bzr handle that?
