Hi,
at the moment, gdb has a 'download_write_var' variable that control max block 
size sent to remote by the 'load' command. The default value if '512'.

I've some questions:

1. Is separate limit for 'load' meaningful? We have a limit for packet size 
already.

2. Is the default size sensible? '512' is pretty low value.

3. Would anybody object to a patch removing this variable completely?

Thanks,
Volodya
