[Crash-utility] PRE_GDB/POST_GDB initialization?

Hi, We are doing some initializations in 2 phases: pre-gdb and post-gdb. Why is that necessary? Can we do that in 1 phase only? I guess the post-init step is needed because it cannot be done before gdb is initialized, which is of course done between pre-gdb and post-gdb. I looked at the code, but dont see anything special that can answer this question. But I am sure that I missed something there. Any pointer? Many thanks, J
