No nothing happened. The patch listed is not quite right :-(. The
basic problem is that GDB assumes that shared libraries will be loaded
at their own, fixed, address. That's not true with modern shared
library systems, and becomes problematic whith dynamically loaded
modules. I have a simpler patch that's also not quite right, but if
we cannot fix the problem properly, we might want to add it (as a
stopgap) to 5.1.
