Is there an option to have gdb reload the executable specified with
'file' from disk if its time stamp has changed upon a 'load' command?

Thanks,
Shaun

I could be wrong, but if you rerun a program that you recompiled, I think 
GDB is smart enough to use the new program, not the old one.

Is this what you want to know?

We check this in a lot of places, but it's possible that "load" is not
one of them.  Maybe it ought to be.
