Changed.  Although there are precedent cases of this, still they are therefore
probably not considered as the preferred ones.  Such as:
	gdb.base/corefile.exp
	set test "accessing mmapped data in core file"
		pass "$test"
		fail "$test (mapping failed at runtime)"
		fail "$test (mapping address not found in core file)"


> This is ok with that change.

Checked in.


Thanks,
Jan
