Hello,

Some time ago, I got the attached patch from jhb (IIRC). It has worked
for me and cured a problem that was making a bunch of my code
un-traceable using GDB on FreeBSD. Debugging would result in a crash of
GDB, preventing me from seeing what bug I had that crashed my program.

Anyhow, my question is: Is there any reason this shouldn't be pushed
into the tree? Who do I need to talk to (obrien? the compiler
maintainers?) about it?

BTW, this has already been fixed in the GDB sources (using nearly the
exact same code) since August 2004 in rev. 1.79 of gdb/target.c:
