This strikes me as a good way out.  Especially if someone is actually
using the sequence numbers.  Of course nailing down how they are
supposed to work (and documenting in gdb.texinfo) would also be needed
to finish solving the problem.

Agreed with Andrew that the current "if (buffer[2] == ':')" style code
(as found in i386-stub.c) should be phased out one way or another.
