Re: [patch+7.3] gdbindex regression: stabs forgotten [Fix crash of gdb save-index on a STABS file]

I must have dropped something somewhere along the line, oops.
Or maybe I just botched the logic when I added lazy psymtabs.

This makes the case of "stabs, plus gnu index, plus -readnow" a little
worse.  

It is hard to imagine anybody caring about this kind of thing though.
I just thought it was funny.

Jan> +      && objfile->sf->sym_read_psymbols != NULL)
Jan> +    return 1;

I think this change requires an update to the comment and also maybe to
the corresponding comment in symfile.h.
