The comment was slightly misleading. In your patch, you did essentially
the same as what I did (avoid using gdb_test), except that I didn't
break the expected output into several chunks as you did. I am guessing
it was to be able to isolate the line containing the GDB prompt, but
maybe that was because you wanted this test to be powerful enough to
match the lines the test is looking for in any order?
In any case, I think Daniel found the real problem.
