"""
This GDB script sets up the debugger to run the program and see if it finishes
of its own accord or is terminated by a signal (like SIGABRT/SIGSEGV). In the
latter case, it saves a full backtrace and core file.

These signals are considered part of normal operation and will not trigger the
above handling:
- SIGPIPE: normal in a networked environment
- SIGHUP: normally used to tell a process to shut down
