Hi Abhijit,

Some minor nits (again).

Two spaces after the period.

Some typos:

"/*The pex object used to create a pipeline between GDB and shell.  */"

> +  if (*p != '\0') *p++ = '\0';

I'm not found of this style.  Please, put the assignment on the next
line:

        if (*p != '\0')
          *p++ = '\0';

Sorry, I didn't understand this line.  Is this needed?  If so, I think
it's better if you do `pipe->shell_cmd = NULL'.

Space between `separator', `-' and `p'.  If you want, you can put this
`memcmp' call directly on the `if' condition, and then you wouldn't need
the braces on the `for'.

Why the braces?

Do you really need to call `pex_get_status' here?  I'm really asking,
because I don't know about pex.

Thanks for your work on this patch.
