 -- Resource: initSymbols (class InitSymbols)
     When loading an executable, DDD queries the inferior debugger for
     the initial source location--typically the `main' function.  If
     this location is not found, DDD tries other symbols from this
     newline-separated list.  The default value makes DDD look for a
     variety of main functions (especially FORTRAN main functions):
          main\n\
          MAIN\n\
          main_\n\
          MAIN_\n\
          main__\n\
          MAIN__\n\
          _main\n\
          _MAIN\n\
          __main\n\
          __MAIN
