That should not be an error.  It's often useful to only compile
some other modules with `--trace deep'.

What we could do, however, is to issue a warning if main exits
without having encountered any events.

A related issue that has been on my list of wanted features for
a long time is to change mdb so that it doesn't just automatically
exit when the program does, but instead behaves more like gdb.
