Thanks for the good words, Christos! If you can confirm this will be the
official patch then we can apply it to our vendor sources. If there are
any other fixes for nasty bugs in 6.15.00 that you're hanging on to it'd
be good to get those out and imported as well.

We'll keep banging on the gdb issue.

As for GDB, why don't you import 6.6? it's already in the ports and
works smoothly in 7.0 and 6.2-stable as well.
