Ed: Thanks for finding that. I checked in a fix. Juri: I'm indifferent about where it goes, but rms thought etc was a reasonable place for it. It's documented in etc/NEWS already and in man/trouble.texi. I suppose it could be mentioned in etc/DEBUG also, but that file describes much lower-level detail. emacs-buffer.gdb is really just a lazy-man's graverobbing tool; hopefully little to no knowledge of emacs internals should be necessary to use it.
