Yeah.  It only appears in an example of -exec-run:

 @smallexample
 (gdb)
 -exec-run
 ^running
 (gdb)
 x = 55
 *stopped,reason="exited",exit-code="01"
 (gdb)
 @end smallexample

I meant the -exec-run example above.  But that was kind of me getting
confused, as the patch doesn't change the output in that case.  So read
that as me pointing out a place in the manual where we show the result
in octal, that would need updating if we ever want to change the
output format consistently.  :-)
