OK; to restate that .gdbinit loading is not a security part of this patchset.
"set autoload safepath" is.
I also made a mistake stating I will change the default in downstream
(Fedora), it does not need to be done, "safepath" is the part fixing the
security hole, "local-gdbinit" is unrelated.


Thanks,
Jan
