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
