Hi,

I was wondering if there any plans to proceed with Kevin's patch that
fixes the problem with pids overflowing the 16 bit precision they
currently use.

We've been using it in at Eazel since mid-october. Without it gdb 5.0 is
pretty much unusable for debugging code that uses threads liberally (the
case of our file manager, Nautilus), a serious degradation from the
older versions of gdb that didn't manifest this problem.

I understand the current thinking is to set up a separate branch on
which the bug fix will be driven to completion, if there is one we would
be delighted to help test.

Pavel
