Dear OpenOCD developer team,
you've made a good tool and I got really far with it.
I don't like to claim about errors that I saw, and of course at first I think,
I'm too stupid.
And searched a lot to find a reason or solution. But even Google couldn't find
anything...
Well, I'm using OpenOCD to debug an STM32F407 via an FTDI UM232H.
At first: It's working. :-)
Now I want to make some startup-tests, the STM32F407 and FTDI UM232H are
powered down.
It's clear, that OpenOCD reports an error and exits.
So I have to restart it again.
But I see the following behaviour:
If I start the OpenOCD with not-supplied target, the answer is:
~~~

That's clear, and all is OK.
Starting with supplied target, is also OK:

Well, everything is fine - till now.
But now I stop the power supply (a weak connection brings the same result) and
then I'm trapped in an n-loop.
Even typing CTRL+C or CTRL+X doesn't stop it:

It seems there is an endless-loop between the modules, but no shutdown if this
error occures.
I looked for a forgotten parameter or setting, so that OpenOCD stops. But
without success...
I'm a hardware developer, managed to configure OpenOCD to a working state.
But I'm not a software developer. I can't find the error and distribute it.
Could you please help me?
Best regards
Andreas Müller
