ddd hangs on start

Question

When I start ddd, it seems hang waiting for gdb. Here is the tail end of output ddd --trace:

#  Saving session in "/home/kbrandt/.ddd/sessions/106d7eb3d567f23b01125736049734486400000041300582/init"...
#  Saving session in "/home/kbrandt/.ddd/sessions/106d7eb3d567f23b01125736049734486400000041300582/init"...done.

<- "(gdb)  "

This doesn't happen if I pick a different debugger like --perl. I read about adding set prompt (gdb) to ~/.gdbinit (space at end), but that doesn't fix it. gdb starts fine on its own. Anyone know what this might be?

Also tried removing ~/.ddd recursively – Kyle Brandt Nov 04 '09 at 18:54 — Kyle Brandt, Nov 04 '09 at 18:54
Seems to be limited it to my account on the machine – Kyle Brandt Nov 04 '09 at 19:35 — Kyle Brandt, Nov 04 '09 at 19:35

I had the following in my inputrc, removing it fixed it:

I've run into this issue and other similar ones with ddd hanging on startup. Each has been fixed by removing ~/.ddd/init

rm ~/.ddd/init
