Yes, I had to make GDB explicitly save and restore the file position.

The document contains both usages.  Actually I had never seen the
two-period usage before -- I've always used and seen it used with
one period (though you're right that both are common).

Since we're already inconsistant, I'll leave it with one-period
but add the @:.  I certainly won't object if you or anyone else
wants to do a sweep and make them all the same.

If you do, by the way, there are other instances of "etc." in the
document that need the @: operator.
