Description Tom de Vries 2019-09-18 14:13:21 UTC 
Calls to error () can cause SIGTTOU to send gdb to the background.
    
For example, on an Arm build:
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x10774: file /build/gdb/testsuite/../../../src/binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoi
nt.c, line 174.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/watchpoint/watchpoint
    
[1]+  Stopped                 ../gdb ./outputs/gdb.base/watchpoint/watchpoint
localhost$ fg
../gdb ./outputs/gdb.base/watchpoint/watchpoint
Cannot parse expression `.L1199 4@r4'.
warning: Probes-based dynamic linker interface failed.
Reverting to original interface.
