I know you've copied this from remote.c, but, can't
we make this an `unsigned int' table?  longs are 64-bit
on most 64-bit archs, so this uses up double more memory
than needed.

Can't say I'm thrilled by assuming
sizeof (long long) > sizeof (long), but I guess
it works on all targets gdbserver cares for presently.

A `require_running' call is missing here.

Otherwise, looks fine to me.
