This prompted me to make this small point and warning for rgdb users.

rgdb says "use pear:12345" for example.

This doesn't work.  From my desk, I must say "pear.testfarm:12345" or
generically "pear.testfarm.cambridge.redhat.com:12345"  Anyone who has
succeeded will be aware already, of course.

It would be most helpful if rgdb printed a fully qualified name that I can
paste into gdb.

Further, it would be most utterly optimal of it included the words "target
remote" also...

So it would say something like

<100 Th 11:09:19> >>> Reset output valid
Use:

target remote pear.testfarm.cambridge.redhat.com:12345

Takes a few more lines, but makes it easier to snap'n'paste.
