+Fix dbxread.c symbol reading in the presence of interrupts.  It currently
+leaves a cleanup to blow away the entire symbol table when a QUIT occurs.
+
+Mipsread.c reads include files depth-first, because the dependencies
+in the psymtabs are way too inclusive (it seems to me).  Figure out what
+really depends on what, to avoid recursing 20 or 30 times while reading
+real symtabs.
+
+value_add() should be subtracting the lower bound of arrays, if known,
+and possibly checking against the upper bound for error reporting.
+
+mipsread.c symbol table allocation and deallocation should be checked.
+My suspicion is that it's full of memory leaks.

+SunOS should have a target_lookup_symbol() for common'd things allocated

+
+When listing source lines, check for a preceding \n, to verify that
+the file hasn't changed out from under us.
+
+When listing source lines, eat leading whitespace corresponding to the
+line-number prefix we print.  This avoids long lines wrapping.
+
+mipsread.c needs to check for old symtabs and psymtabs for the same
+files, the way it happens for dbxread.c and coffread.c, for VxWorks
+incremental symbol table reloading.
+
+When attached to a non-child process, ^C or other signals are not
+propagated to the child.  Do this in the GDB signal handler, using 
+target_kill().  AMD version: ^C should do ^Ak to stop ebmon.
