Thanks!

This is approved, with the following comments:

The words "stdin", "stdout", and "stderr" should have a @code markup,
since they are C symbols.  In fact, it might be better to replace them
with "standard input" etc., since GDB is used for debugging languages
other than C, so a user might not know what `stdin' is.

A period is missing inside the parens.

In this case, `cmds' and `log' are not metasyntactic variables, they
are simple file names.  So they should have the @file markup.

Oh, and in the ChangeLog entry, please tell in what node was the
change done, as if the node were a function (i.e. inside parens).
