Random gdb 3.4 behavior:
	[1] start gdb on an executable file
	[2] set a breakpoint at an address outside of normal text area for
		that executable  (i was debugging a program that loaded in
		in generated code) (yes i know i cant put a breakpoing and
		then load stuff on top....)
	[3] try to type 'run'

This produces a weird error about not being able to set breakpoints.  It'd
probably be nice if the message would explain why.

ps: this was on a 88k version of gdb.
