How do you start the connection? I seem to recall that starting with
the gdb client is not a good idea, because the gdb client will try
a couple of commands first to see if the stub supports them. If the
stub is not ready, then the gdb client may think the stub is not
capable of certain features.

I typically have the kernel break into the GDB debugger first and
then I start the gdb client...
