Hi,

I looked at the test, if Alan is fine with the code changes then I am 
fine with them.  I noted some nits, but otherwise it looks good.  Please 
push after addressing them.

You can use get_integer_valueof for this.

Just wondering, can't simple gdb_test be used here?

8 spaces -> tab on the last line.  Though for test patterns, it's fine 
to go over 80 columns, IMO.
