Hmmm. The CVS log for gdbtk-bp.c shows

revision 1.9
date: 2001/08/03 03:37:40;  author: kseitz;  state: Exp;  lines: +6 -6
        * generic/gdbtk-bp.c (gdb_get_breakpoint_info): Update
        with recent breakpoint structure changes in gdb.
        (gdb_set_bp_addr): Likewise.
        (gdb_get_tracepoint_info): Update with recent tracepoint
        structure changes in gdb.

Maybe the snapshot process didn't pick it up for some reason. ???

FWIW, I'll be checking in a "new" register window shortly, which you may
want to avoid. I've spent a lot of time making it work, but I've only
tested it on a couple of platforms: linux native, cygwin native,
cygwin-x-[bleep] and linux-x-[bleep]. I haven't discovered any problems,
but it is a chunk of relatively new code...

I think that the 5.1 branch and the main repository are in the best shape
they've been in for quite some time -- probably best they've been ever.
(It's nice not to be distracted by work, eh?)

Also note that if you expect to use insight on win98 (heaven forbid), you
should get the patch that is in limbo in gdb right now about
sigsetjmp/siglongjmp. A problem which, unfortunately, really only shows up
in insight (although I can reproduce it in standalone gdb easily enough).
