Both of these bugs are in gdb 3.5.3 running on bsd on an hp 68020 system. I was debugging cc1, and did pt on a value that was not a valid tree node. It crashed, and I used the return command to get rid of the stack frames made by pt. Later I tried pt again, and it refused to even try to run the function call. Later on, I had a breadpoint in mul_double, and stepped to line 250. There the value of l1 was 0x90000000 while that of temp was 0x20000000. I did `p temp<l1'. The value was 0. It seems that gdb did a signed comparison when it should have been unsigned.
