Please note comparing the counts is not enough for a regressions verification.
Some of the GDB testcases still have flipping results and some real
regressions had effect on a single testcase so the total count does not say
much.  Recommending to diff the gdb.sum files (doing so by hand).

FYI after crashing my machine several times :-) using now $HOME/bin/runtest:
	#! /bin/sh
	#sync
	ulimit -v 500000
	ulimit -c unlimited
	exec nice /usr/bin/runtest "$@"
