Oh, my GDB foo on the command line ends with making backtraces. ;-)
But just typing in "info locals" in the *gud-bootstrap-emacs* buffer is
about the same, no? And that shows
event = {kind = FILE_NOTIFY_EVENT, part = scroll_bar_nowhere, code = 0, modifiers = 0, x = 0, y = 0, timestamp = 0, frame_or_window = 0, arg = 0}
whereas the relevant line in the locals GUD window is just
struct input_event event nil
So that looks like a bug. I guess I should report this, or will you fix
this right now?

Ok.

When renaming in the same directory. I think Michaels case is where you
move a file from watched directory A to watched directory B, and then
you want the rename event reported to both handlers. The case I fixed
is just that both source and target watch descriptor are actually the
same but not identical Lisp objects.
Bye,
