Thanks for the diff. Have you tried a newer version, like a CVS 
snapshot? [Gdb also "unofficially" available via git, too.]

I know there hasn't been much movement on a new "official" release, but 
I am planning to do something when gdb officially releases 7.2. [FWIW, 
I've used weekly snapshots of insight+gdb for years. Almost never have a 
problem.]

The diffs you supplied all pertain to gdb's files, and I'll bet these 
are LONG since solved since 6.8.1. So I did a little digging...

 From what I can figure out, all the problems with getcwd have been 
addressed. As has the "write" in utils.c. "dup" is no longer used in 
inflow.c, so I'm guessing that's fixed, too.

That leaves one potential problem in eval.c (initializing the array).  I 
cannot tell you whether this has been addressed or not because the diff 
doesn't contain enough context information (please use "-u" option to 
diff next time).

I encourage you to try a snapshot or CVS/git checkout to see if any of 
these problems persist. You should report any further problems to the 
gdb mailing list (gdb@ instead of insight@).
