"Used to" as in "has been failing since 2003-11-27 to 2004-02-09", yes.
It was pr gdb/1470. Maybe it slipped off your radar screen.

Err, yeah. I suppose the right thing is to make

gdb_breakpoint_with_pending $name $pendingp

Then:

proc gdb_breakpoint { name } {
return gdb_breakpoint_with_pending "$name" "no"
}

I see 3 instance of "gdb_breakpoint exit" and they need to be
investigated.

On principle, same with "runto".

I don't know what the right name is, either. But I do think that the
the new functions should take a second parameter.
