Thanks.

The tests appear to fail now.  However, there is still a difference in output
for sync and async behaviour and this is what the test is for.

ASYNC:

(gdb) 
r
&"r\n"
~"Starting program: /home/nickrob/myprog \n"
=thread-created,id="1"
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb) 
*stopped,reason="breakpoint-hit",disp="keep",bkptno="1",thread-id="1",frame={addr="0x08048706",func="main",args=[{name="argc",value="1"},{name="argv",value="0xbfaf2db4"}],file="myprog.c",fullname="/home/nickrob/myprog.c",line="146"}


SYNC:

r
&"r\n"
~"Starting program: /home/nickrob/myprog \n"
=thread-created,id="1"
^running
*running,thread-id="all"
(gdb) 
~"\n"
~"Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbf961424) at myprog.c:146\n"
~"146\tmain (int argc, char **argv) {\n"
*stopped
(gdb) 


i.e no reason, frame, file, etc fields.  It's important for the console in a
frontend that the CLI command generates the same MI output as the corresponding
MI command.

The async version now seems to be missing a final "(gdb) \n".  Maybe that's
why the tests are failing.
