On platforms other than Apple's behaviour is unchanged: there is no match in gdb-apple-test and it does nothing. On Apple platforms, the coding-system is changed but that behaviour has been tested by Mac users. No change is risk free but I think this one is as safe as they come. -- Nick http://users.snap.net.nz/~nickrob
