The sole purpose of 5.1.0.x (1) was to fix copyright problems in the documentation. Turns out it it still contains problems (I didn't pull a change into the branch and that wasn't noticed). 5.1.0.2 would be the same. Yes it doesn't help the normal user that is more worried about a working GDB. enjoy, Andrew
