I'll take a look at it tonight, after I get home. Do you think the patch doesn't apply because of major changes to data or algorithms, or just because code has moved around? The patch is enormous and hairy. As an outsider, I would say that the best strategy is to get the patch to where it applies, compiles, and runs, then commit it ASAP. That will probably break GDB for a while, but it means that this important feature will actually get fixed. Otherwise, it gets easier over time to just put off the fix because it becomes harder and harder to do. -jwb
