I don't really see much difference between GDB having code that we don't fully understand, and installing code that we don't fully understand to use it: in both cases we rely on the testsuite. The difference being that, if my changes are installed, asynchronous operation will get tested and over time the code will improve. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
