State-Changed-When: Thu Sep  1 04:47:34 2005
State-Changed-Why:
    It looks like this is a gdb bug in symfile.c:generic_load. It cannot handle filenames with spaces in them (this includes directories). It mistakenly thinks that everything after the first space is an offset.
    
    Please enter a bug against gdb.
