GDB 5.3 BUG Report for H8/300H and H8S

[Shrinivas Atre]

Hi,

I am using GDB Insight 5.3.

I observed following error when writing GDB stub for H8S target using Remote/Serial connection.
Whenever I want to write to memory location beyond 64K, the GDB truncates the address to lower 16 bit of the expected address.

e.g. When I want to write to 0x40200 location the GDB sends following command $m200,34#92
Before connection I am use following commands in command window

(gdb) set debug remote 1
(gdb) set architecture h8300s

This does not happen in case of GDB 5.2.1, where the address is sent correctly. 
i.e. for above example following command is sent. $m40200,34#f6

Is there any solution for this ?

Regards
Shrinivas
