you didn't look at my diffs to gdb, did you?  They were,
comparatively, quite elegant (and seemed to fit into the structure of
GDB quite well...)

because i didn't modify the code, because I didn't know if gdb worked
as-is under OSF/1 or not.

I'd rather not change something that:
	(1) may work on OSF/1 (and if so, should work on NetBSD/Alpha),
	(2) I don't particularly understand,
especially when those changes involve a whole lot _more_ code that
isn't too easy to understand.
