The phrase "The server prefix" is already used three lines earlier
(without @code).  How about:


*** gdb.texinfo	06 Aug 2009 15:42:03 +1200	1.614
--- gdb.texinfo	06 Aug 2009 17:07:08 +1200	
*************** Displays how many symbol complaints @val
*** 18009,18014 ****
--- 18009,18015 ----
  
  @end table
  
+ @anchor{confirmation requests}
  By default, @value{GDBN} is cautious, and asks what sometimes seems to be a
  lot of stupid questions to confirm certain commands.  For example, if
  you try to run a program which is already running:
*************** command to repeat if @key{RET} is presse
*** 25697,25705 ****
  means that commands can be run behind a user's back by a front-end in
  a transparent manner.
  
! The server prefix does not affect the recording of values into the value
! history; to print a value without recording it into the value history,
! use the @code{output} command instead of the @code{print} command.
