It is also useful to have a guaranteed way to return to the debugger
at any arbitrary time. When using X, this is easy: type C-z at the
window where you are interacting with GDB, and it will stop Emacs just
-as it would stop any ordinary program. When Emacs is displaying on a
-text terminal, things are not so easy, so we describe the various
-alternatives below (however, those of them that use signals only work
-on Posix systems).

The src/.gdbinit file in the Emacs distribution arranges for SIGINT
(C-g in Emacs on a text-mode frame) to be passed to Emacs and not give
