Okay,  fine I will take back the request for the boat .

BTW: this is not about "fishing" is just about the expected behavior
of gdb. So I don't consider it unreasonable to suggest for someone
to integrate the fix in . In fact, he was complaining about posting
the answer to the question too many times . Take your pick.

*Please save the hints*

Also from the tone of the answer to the posting if you don't feel like
answering for whatever reasons please don't reply .

	Later,
