I know next to nothing about expect, and from a quick look at some
testsuite files it would take me some time to construct a proper
testcase file.

Attached are a test program and a before and after log of a session
that shows the issue with awatch.  The test run was on RedHat 8.0
linux, gdb 5.3 native.
