I think that is completely fair.  If you go look at the bug I filed,
Simon cannot
reproduce the problem, and I think that is because I am behind on the CentOS
version I am using.  So I think the best bet is just to close the bug
with "won't
fix" and then I'll just carry on with my patches internal to my employer.  We do
not ship gdb - so we are not in violation of the GPL license. I am just building
the latest, greatest for use by developers.

Thanks,

Tom
