There wasn't anything gratuitous about the decision. If down/up were to be flipped, then so to would our back-trace order and our display of a backtrace. Not a must have first feature. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5815 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
