I've checked in a (hopeful) fix.

The 64-bit off_t, enabling the TUI, the HP/UX frame update, or the BFD 
file I/O rewrite?  Of these, it's the TUI that scares me me the most. 
History shows that only after we've released do we learn about the 
breakage on the non- mainstream systems.

I do wonder if the next binutils branch should be held off until after 
GDB's been released - so that it can learn from GDB's mistakes :-)
