Re: [RFA] testsuite/gdb.base/bang.exp: Allow trailing text after"Program exited normally"

Hi,

while testing I found that a test for ending the program in
gdb.base/bang.exp failed, even though the target had actually
exited normally.  The cause of the FAIL is that bang.exp doesn't
expect anything after the string "Program exited normally.".
On the sh target at least, the output after exiting contains a
bit more text:

Program exited normally.
[Switching to process 0]


Since that trailing output after a normal exit doesn't change
anything with respect to the testresult, I propose to allow
trailing characters:


But isn't the [Switching to process 0] a bug?  We aren't switching
processes, the inferior is dead.

Yes. The message is both a bug and a very long standing regression.
