Broken MI output


Hello.

I tried to run hello-world application under "gdb -i=mi"
and got the following:

-------------------------
~"GNU gdb 6.3\n"

~"\n"
(gdb)
run
&"run\n"
 Hello world!
~"Current language:  auto; currently c\n"
^done,reason="exited-normally"
(gdb)
-------------------------

Two lines here are out of the grammar syntax: "run" line, that is only 
echo of the terminal, that doesnt go out of the debugger (presents only in 
debugger stdin) and the " Hello world!" line that is an application output 
mixed with MI output. The second line goes out of the debugger stdout and 
surely breaks MI-parser. 
Am I right that this is a bug ("@ c-string" format is missing) that needs 
to be fixed?

Thanks.

Konstantin.
