  37    If startup-with-shell is set, GDB's "run" will attempt to start up
  38    the debuggee under a shell.  This also happens when using GDBserver
  39    under extended remote mode.
  40
  41    This is in order for argument-expansion to occur.  E.g.,
  42
  43    (gdb) run *
  44
  45    The "*" gets expanded by the shell into a list of files.
  46
  47    While this is a nice feature, it may be handy to bypass the shell
  48    in some cases.  To disable this feature, do "set startup-with-shell
  49    false".
