I beat on it for a while to get rid of that assumption; it was not totally trivial but not all that hard, either. But it was a bit of a hack job, so I'm not prepared to submit the resulting changes as gdb patches. Is this considered the Right Way for it to behave? Or is this a deficiency that's awaiting fixing in some grand overhaul? paul
