Oops! that was a left-over from my testing.  Thanks for catching it.

Because it didn't work inside the conditional in GDB 6.3, 6.4, and a
recent snapshot of the GDB CVS.  It looks like a bug in GDB (which I'm
trying to debug), but given that it fails in at least 2 released
versions of GDB, I didn't think the small inefficiency in .gdbinit is
worth breaking it for users of those GDB versions.

Yup, tried that first, and got a weird error message that made no
sense (the message varies depending on what version of GDB is used).
