I have no idea what these "a" mean.

I have gdb-6.8.tar.bz2 and gdb-7.0.tar.bz2.  I guess I was wrong, and
the pretest I've been using eventually became GDB 7.0, not 6.9 (the
time stamps of the two archives are just 1 month apart).  So I think
GDB 7.0 should be OK.

Let me know if you need me to upload these 2 archives somewhere.

Thanks.

P.S. On the Emacs front, it turns out the problem with invoking
programs is due to some difference between v2.05 and v2.03, because an
older version of Emacs built with v2.05 acquired the same disease.
I'm still investigating this tricky problem.
