Great! I'm glad to hear that's the problem. The other problem would have
been much worse :)

You should adjust the value to something reasonable. So that when you
hit <ESC> to go the source window, you don't have to wait for ever. You
could try it at say '60' and then move to '100' if that doesn't work.
The value is in tenths of seconds I believe. You can start CGDB and type
:help to get all of the options. Then search for escdelay to see a
little documentation about it. On the other hand, you could just get
used to hitting <esc><esc> in order to move to the source window.

Anyways, once you get the value that you want, you should add it to your
~/.cgdb/cgdbrc file. Once you do that, you will not have to ever worry
about it again.
