The XDB characters clash with existing GDB commands so I have left those disabled unless in XDB mode. Specifically commands such as 'x/i' fail because the command there is actually only 'x'. Obviously this does not affect commands such as 'x /i'. 

The same clash exists with '+'.  Things like "u+1" won't work any more,
IIUC.

Hmmm, this looks more like a parser exploit than a feature. Either that or the TUI can be considered broken.

Should I leave these characters as TUI only or always allow them? Does anybody have a strong opinion either way? I would tend to favour leaving it as is.
