Sorry, Robert, but since this question was posted on the newsgroup, I
assumed he was refering to the publicly available GNAT 3.10. That user's
guide makes no mention of "break exception", and on Windows, there is no
Ada aware gdb. The original poster did not mention what OS he was on, so
I assumed the most common (or at least the one I use :).

There is nothing "obsolete" about this version of gdb, since it is the
only one available for this platform!
