How can I thank you for letting me know there's a gdb package?

Using that gdb I fixed the bug that caused the problem of which I
thought it was a data alignment issue.

The mmap() summaries are now working with tinymail on the Nokia 770.

I'm now creating a 50,000 messages IMAP folder for testing. In theory
the device should now have the ability to display such amounts.

What a simple gdb can do :). You Nokians should brag more about what is
available on the platform! I really didn't know that there's a gdb
package.

Anyhow ..

Thanks.
