Ah, this is the "Emacs *is* the GNU Coding Standard" school of thought
--- to which I do occasionally subscribe.  But I've got
indent-tabs-mode set to nil, after being asked to do so several times

Once all the bugs in GDB's actual behavior are fixed, I'll raise the
tab/space question again.  [goes back under rock]
