Hmmmm, that's a very sharp remark. 

Looking at our current implementation in begin_command, we indeed only
rely on minimal symbols, which makes sense (we only need the address,
we know how to read it afterwards). So a check against
have_minimal_symbols is indeed more appropriate.

Thanks for catching this.
Here is an updated version.

2004-05-20  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@gnat.com>

        * infcmd.c (kill_if_already_running): New function, extracted
        from run_command().
        (run_command): Replace extracted code by call to
        kill_if_already_running().
        (start_command): New function.
        (_initialize_infcmd): Add "start" command.
