The patch does jump to the existing buffer. In the case of "annotate=3", I had
meant to call gdb-restore-windows when there was an existing buffer. However,
this just restores to a standard layout and probably doesn't warrant the
ugliness of using catch.

It also removes the problem with the debuggers in gud which would insert an
unwanted "Current directory is ..." into the GUD buffer.

So shall I use error where I've put throw and take out the catch part?
