RE: memory search capability

I've implemented this as a local mod.  Right now it doesn't
have support
in the remote protocol, that's on the "to do next"
list.

One bit of user feedback I got was to drop the results of
the search
into some local variables so scripts could use that.  

Any suggestions for a suitable encoding for this in the
packet protocol?

I could submit the code to the list if there's interest.

I'm guessing there's general agreement in getting this
functionality
into gdb.  Can you post the patch?  I have some time to help
work on
it.

Regarding examining the results of the search: I'm guessing
the way to
handle that is in Python (once it's added).
