I have a patch for this, I just need to write a test.
Also I think I know what is up with the subsequent problems that
Philippe reported.

Reverting is certainly possible but perhaps it can be fixed some other
way.  The problem is that in "nonl" mode, RET in readline won't print a
newline, leading to gdb output being on the same line as the input.  I
was thinking maybe the RET key binding, or maybe some other function in
TUI, could print a newline when the input is accepted.
