[rfa/doco] PROBLEMS: remove pr gdb/1505

[Michael Chastain]

One of the PR's in PROBLEMS has been fixed in gdb HEAD.
This patch removes the PR from PROBLEMS.

I'm not sure what to put in the title.
Leaving it as "Known problems in GDB 6.2" is wrong.
So I changed it "Known problems in GDB HEAD".

Testing: not tested.

Okay to commit?

I'm curious - why do you believe that PR 1505 has been fixed?

Some particular instance may have been, but the problem definitely
remains - see discussion on gdb@ this week.

My test bed says that the problem no longer occurs in the environment
where it was reported.  Something changed in gdb since the last spin and
gdb finds the right bottom-of-stack now.

The problem hasn't occured in any other environments that anyone has
seen, either.  So I closed the PR.  (I optimized away the feedback step
because I was the original submitter).  I would tell the original
submitter: if it happens again, with the same or different platform,
file a new PR.

I'm open to alternatives.  How do you suggest we handle PR/1505?

This is what I get for reading the entry in PROBLEMS that you were
removing rather than the PR referenced.

PR 1505 is fixed.  However, the problem of stopping backtraces in
general is not - Andrew made some suggestions.

Then I can approve the patch to PROBLEMS. ;-)

Thanks, Michael.

Yeah, I am talking about the PR, and you are talking about PROBLEMS,
which are two different issues.

I will withdraw my patch to PROBLEMS for now.  The current text is
okay with me while Andrew and other people sort out the general
issue.

I was just excited that one of the PR's in PROBLEMS actually closed!
