Results from today: note that there are at least a few potential bogons amongst
them, because after 45 minutes of letting sigstep hog 100% of my cpu while every
single test on it failed slowly one-by-one after timing out I killed the
executable. However, since this caused the remaining sigstep tests to fail, and
since they were very probably going to fail in the end anyway, it may well not
have caused any actual difference in the end results.

Also some of the java tests went wrong because my firewall popped up just when I
was in the middly of typing 'end results' and swallowed the 'n' keypress, thus
denying one of the testcases access to the network. I hate it when that
happens. (I hate it even more when a requester pops up and swallows a keypress
that ends up _allowing_ something I hadn't wanted to permit, but there ya go).

Judging by the list of .stackdump files, I reckon a lot of the failures were
caused by the test executables failing.

gdb/testsuite/annota3.exe.stackdump gdb/testsuite/gdb.exe.stackdump
gdb/testsuite/basicclass.exe.stackdump gdb/testsuite/ld.exe.stackdump
gdb/testsuite/bitfields.exe.stackdump gdb/testsuite/sigbpt.exe.stackdump
gdb/testsuite/break.exe.stackdump gdb/testsuite/signull.exe.stackdump
gdb/testsuite/funcargs.exe.stackdump

There was a segv on line 414 of macrotab.c which caused gdb to crash and leave
behind that stack dump. More details available on request.
