+       * infptrace.c (GDB_MAX_ALLOCA): New define.
+       (child_xfer_memory): Use xmalloc/xfree instead of alloca if the
+       size of the buffer exceeds GDB_MAX_ALLOCA (default 1 megabyte, 
+       can be overridden with whatever value is appropriate to the host).
+       * infttrace.c (child_xfer_memory): Add FIXME warning about use of
+       alloca to allocate potentially large buffer.
+       * rs6000-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
+       * symm-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
