"Used to" as in "has been failing since 2003-11-27 to 2004-02-09", yes.
It was pr gdb/1470.  Maybe it slipped off your radar screen.

Err, yeah.  I suppose the right thing is to make

  gdb_breakpoint_with_pending $name $pendingp

Then:

  proc gdb_breakpoint { name } {
    return gdb_breakpoint_with_pending "$name" "no"
  }

I see 3 instance of "gdb_breakpoint exit" and they need to be
investigated.

On principle, same with "runto".

I don't know what the right name is, either.  But I do think that the
the new functions should take a second parameter.
