Linux 2.6.18-6-k7

>Description:
Cannot use fifos to pass commands to gdb via -x option, eg using bash syntax as below
gdb -x <(echo "set <something>") <program>
There is an explicit check in openp for a regular file - can this be changed to also allow a fifo?
>How-To-Repeat:
Run something like this at a bash prompt:
gdb -x <(echo "set height 0") ls
>Fix:
openp in source.c needs to also allow fifos when checking is_regular_file.
