I'm working with gdb 3.5 and coff format files. The function
find_line_common is defined to return the best_index, or return 0
as an error return value.  Unfortunately, the best_index might actually
be 0, so this logic will fail.  The error return value should be changed
to -1 to avoid this problem.  Jay Norwood
