Yes, I'd like a resolution too.  Seems like the last comment was
"Let's let Nick decide".   ;-)

FYI, here is what I'm currently proposing for GDB's 6.7 release:



diff -p -r1.235 NEWS

  *** Changes since GDB 6.6

+ * Resolved 101 resource leaks, null pointer dereferences, etc. in gdb,
+ bfd, libiberty and opcodes, as revealed by static analysis donated by
+ Coverity, Inc. (http://scan.coverity.com).
+
  * When looking up multiply-defined global symbols, GDB will now prefer the
  symbol definition in the current shared library if it was built using the
  -Bsymbolic linker option.
