This was added for some versions of gdb which reported differently for offsets of known types, initially I only saw this on Solaris but I have seen it on Linux as well.

That sounds great, I'll look forward to seeing it.  The other option might be to move gdb up the stack to main so that the language is c anyway?

It's likely that the change will be possibly adding a process name to the list in is_resmgr_process() and or adding checks for a second environment variable in pbs_find_pids().
