I'm currently seeing the following when running the testsuite.
Running /nfs/sun18/work/rearnsha/gnusrc/src/gdb/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/
corefile.exp ...
failed to get controlling terminal using TIOCSCTTYparent: sync byte write:
broken pipe
However, it only occurs if I'm running the whole suite. If I just run
corefile.exp it completes ok.
I seem to remember something like this once before (on another testsuite);
IIRC it occurs when a connection to a child isn't shut down cleanly after
a test (normally because the test failed in some way); the controlling pty
isn't released cleanly and we then eventually run out of ptys. Could this
be the problem here? -- certainly I'm seeing rather a large number of
failures at the moment, since I'm in the middle of trying to raise the ARM
code to multi-arch 1.
