Hi,

PS: Jussi, what do I have to do in launchpad to receive mailing list traffic? I
joined the project and apparently selected the subscribe to mailing list
button, however I still do not receive list mails :-((

Note: int 3 works the same under Linux as well, I even used it myself from
time to time to instantly fall into gdb. However, you can do the same with
abort et al., one just has to set and breakpoint on it. Thus int 3 can be
comfortable in early drafting to immediatly stop in the debugger without
remembering to set the breakpoint first.

But in this case I also vote to remove the special x86 support, we're not
in early drafting and can set a breakpoint wherever we want to poke
around :-)
