Yeah, well, it was a demangling bug in 4.18
( http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4835 ) which
pushed me over the edge.  gdb-4.18-5 should be a big step forward for
C++ debugging (as far as I know), but I'm still looking for people to
find and report bugs.  In particular, I'm aware of cases in which
spurious SIGTRAP's happen and pretty much make debugging impossible
(thread-related, I would guess, but I don't really know, I might know
how to reproduce some of these but I'm not sure).

There is now a gdb-4.18-6.*.rpm on http://people.redhat.com/kingdon/ -
the only difference from -5 is fixing a small but annoying problem
with the info files.

If people can't figure that out, do we really want bug reports from
them? :-)

Seriously, yeah, it would have been good to be a bit more explicit.
