I was thinking of the objcopy trick. Didn't know gdb could do it as well!

Well, I'm far from definitive, and I presume I'd need to get an assign done
for that, but I'm perfectly happy to contribute it in whatever form seems best.
I'd be reluctant to actually *replace* anything already that is already there
in the manual because I don't understand dg well enough to know if I was doing
the right thing, and I'm fairly sure that what I've described there is a
kludgey and roundabout way of doing it... But it works, and getting to grips
with dg is hard for newbs, and providing them with a simple interface like this
that lets them get the rest of the problem out into a more familiar domain
makes it 'good enough' :)
Jose, please drop a note back to the lists and let us know if these
instructions were enough for you to get it to work or if I forgot anything!
cheers,
DaveK
