Since this stabs patch in now in HEAD, I've redone the testing.  I
confirm that with this patch installed, your original patch doesn't
introduce any new failures on the templates.exp test on
stabs --- gcc 4.2, or head.  Yay!

On my end, your original patch is clear to go in.

This must be a miscomunication.  I never said I was getting DWARF
failures.  I just re-confirmed that your original patch does remove
the dtors kfail in templates.exp on dwarf.

 -KFAIL: gdb.cp/templates.exp: destructor breakpoint (PRMS: gdb/1112)
 +PASS: gdb.cp/templates.exp: destructor breakpoint
