Alternatively, putting
set auto-load safe-path /
in your ~/.gdbinit will turn off this dubious 'security' feature
entirely. (Has any system *ever* been taken over by a hostile .gdbinit?
I suppose if you have hostile local users who are looking for really
obscure ways to screw you up, and routinely run gdb in /tmp or in their
home directories the feature has some value. But how often does *that*
happen? And isn't it likely that such a user would pick an attack vector
more likely to be hit? Bah.)
