OK, thanks.  Then I'm going to self-approve this patch series.  Thanks,
Pedro, for skimming over it.  I have another small fix I'm going to post
for a week or two - it's almost obvious.

The other patch series I have posted some time ago contains changes
to infrun, record (full), and the MI test suite.  It generally impacts the
behavior of MI.  I'm going to ping this one again.

Regards,
Markus.
