Thus the > value of bspstore does not really matter. Could we restore it if we tried? Sounds like it would be a bit tricky, given the comment in ia64-linux-nat.c. What I'm getting at is that this sounds like a legitimate, if not terribly important, bug found by the test rather than a bug in the test. I'm not terribly sure of that though having read a little about bspstore. Very confusing. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
