No. I simply don't know what your talking about here. The former HP maintainer, Jeff Law, stepped down because he realised he was no longer able to allocate the time and resources needed to respond promptly to HP GDB questions, problems and patches. Keep in mind that Jeff is a member of the GCC Steering Committee, a very active GCC developer, and one of the sources/gcc.gnu.org maintainers (I believe he also manages to hold down a day job :-). In stepping back from GDB/HP maintainership (never an easy and definitly a brave decision) Jeff has opened the way for others to advance the GDB-HP code he wrote. Andrew
