One advantage of David's code is that when the bug gets fixed,
people see a more informative message for a while: "KPASS gdb/38"
rather than "PASS".
One disadvantage is that it adds more file editing steps to the
lifecycle. David, what edits, exactly, are you envisioning
when "KPASS gdb/38" starts popping up?
You shouldn't delete this part:
-re "known bad expression" {
kfail "gdb/NNN" "test name"
}
... because old bugs have a way of popping up again, especially
when additional configurations get tested.
