I'm confused: what exactly does this patch fix, i.e. what was the
behavior before it and what it will be after it?

My confusion stems from the fact that you first say that the problem
described by the OP does not exist, i.e. GDB does _not_ continue past
foo, but then you say something is wrong and suggest a fix.  What did
I miss here?

Thanks.
