I don't see how my patch should change anything. In any case, I got
Running /export/gnu/src/gdb/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/detach.exp ...
Running /export/gnu/src/gdb/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/display.exp ...
Running /export/gnu/src/gdb/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/dump.exp ...
Running /export/gnu/src/gdb/gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/echo.exp ...
It looks fine to me.
