This patch attempts to improve Tom> these areas. Also, I forgot to note here that I didn't understand the documentation for the "A" packet; but when I looked at the code I couldn't find it in either gdb or gdbserver. So, I wonder if it ought to be deleted. Another oddity I noticed is that it's unclear what a client ought to do if a stub sends a notification that it doesn't understand. The ACK for a notification depends on the contents (which implies that they've been understood), and there doesn't seem to be a general notification NAK. I think this might be a useful addition. Tom
