-If @var{mode} is @code{on} gdb will break on exceptions from the cygwin DLL itself.
-If @var{mode} is @code{off} gdb will delay recognition of exceptions and may ignore
-some exceptions which seem to be caused by internal cygwin DLL "bookkeeping".
+If @var{mode} is @code{on}, @value{GDBN} will break on exceptions that
+happen inside the Cygwin DLL. If @var{mode} is @code{off},
+@value{GDBN} will delay recognition of exceptions, and may ignore some
+exceptions which seem to be caused by internal Cygwin DLL
+``bookkeeping''. This option is meant primarily for debugging the
+Cygwin DLL itself; the default value is @code{off} to avoid annoying
+@value{GDBN} users with false @code{SIGSEGV} signals.
