FYI, the reason I'd like the software_single_step() bit precluded is
because of the cast, not because of the patch conflict (I can live with
that).

Yes, I'm being unfortunatly picky about the cast because I don't want to
encourage a situtation where people gag compiler warnings by adding even
more layers of duct tape and spatfiller. (which is all somewhat ironic
given several recent patches I've proposed involving casts :-).

BTW, this isn't the first time I've seen this patch.  Andrei Petrov
<and@genesyslab.com> also posted essentially the same change so both
might as well get credit :-).  The first submition was unfortunatly held
up (and then burried) while its status with respect to needing an
assignment was clarified.  That is how I know Paul Hilfinger's version
of the patch doesn't need an assignment :-)
