interpreter-exec on mingw/cygwin gdb-7.6.2 fails

[Tim Sander <tim at krieglstein dot org>]

Hi

I have noticed that interpretex-exec completly fails on mingw/cygwin if 
executed with "source <cmdfile>" or gdb -x cmdfile.
The content of cmdfile is for example:
interpreter-exec console "set target-async off"

After that console gets continually printed with:
(gdb) select: Bad file descriptor.
Whch comes from event-loop.c, gdb_wait_for_event, 
perror_with_name (("select"));
and gdb does not seem to react any more to any input.

First  (see patch below) i thought that there might be a stale handle of the 
recursive called interpreter but gdb_notifier only contains one handle at this 
time so it seems as if the file handle got stale/corrupted in some way during 
the inner interpreter call.  (Also closing this handle stops gdb execution).

I would be happy if someone would have an idea how tackle this error.

Best regards
Tim

PS:
Note this is not fixed by the hack below, which fixes 
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15811
albeit in a not so clean way as it just cleans up and ignores any error :-(.
But at least its better than the current state which just quits gdb.
