It turned out to be a little more effort than usual to test the change, because we no longer do builds on Tru64, and one of the machines I used to use broke down. That being said, I was able to test the debugger, both with AdaCore's testsuite as well as the manual testing that suggested, and it all works marvelously :-). Thanks for taking care of that... -- Joel
