===== Intro  ===================================================

VDB is a debugger written using the vtrace API.  For the list

of kewl stuff and supported features, see the vtrace docs.

===== Usage  ===================================================

I usually run it directly from the checkout without going through

any kind of installation.  From a windows/unix command prompt,

"python vdbbin" should suffice.

If you want to use the gui (on mac/linux/windows) you will need

a working install of pygtk (which means gtk/pango/etc).

I'm not really one for writting a LOT of docs, but explore and have fun.

===== Known Iusses  ============================================

 * -R and firewalls

    Remove debugging with vdb is possible with the use of the

    "server" command and the -R option.  *However*, cobra

    (the underlying RMI model) will attempt transparent reconnection

    for robustness.  This means that firewalls can cause it to hang

    as it tries to reconnect.  This also means that one socket dying

    once doesn't destroy your debugging session ;)

 * NonBlocking or ThreadWrap modes

    Though these modes are listed in the modes selection interface

    you may *not* turn them off.  They are critical to the function

    of vdb as a non-blocking debugger...
