Great, thanks.

Good question.  I just copied it from elsewhere, and didn't
pay close enough attention -- It could be -? even, but
actually, we don't care for negative numbers here.  I've removed
the match for -.

Here's what I applied.  Thanks!

	gdb/testsuite/
	* gdb.base/annota1.exp, gdb.base/annota3.exp: Extract the
	inferior's pid and look for a core dump named core.$pid.  Use
	`remote_file' commands on the host instead of hand coding shell
	commands on the build.
	* gdb.base/valgrind-db-attach.exp: Kill the program before
	finishing the test.
