I sent you my comment last week, but I neglected to copy it to the list.

Mad testing on native i686-pc-linux-gnu says that this is okay.
Recommended for approval.
The usual configuration matrix:
target => native
host => i686-pc-linux-gnu
osversion => red-hat-8.0
gdb => HEAD%20030107
gcc => 2.95.3, 3.2-7-rh, 3.2.1, gcc-3_2-branch%20030107, gcc-3_3-branch%20030107, HEAD%20030107
binutils => 2.13.90.0.2-rh, 2.13.2.1, HEAD%20030107
libc => 2.2.93-5-rh
gformat => dwarf-2, stabs+
count 32 = 1 * 1 * 1 * 2 * (5*3+1*1) * 1 * 2
I did this twice, once with TCL 8.4.1 + Expect 5.38.0 + Dejagnu 1.4.3,
and once with sourceware cvs TCL+Expect+Dejagnu ('T-E-D'). I did
before-and-after on each of those pairs, for a total of 128 test runs.
There were no significant before-and-after differences.
Good thing computers don't get bored ('Another nested for loop! Oh boy!').
There is one significant difference between FSF T+E+D and
sourceware T+E+D. With sourceware T+E+D, gdb often FAILs here:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/pthreads.exp: set break at common_routine in thread 2
continue^M
Continuing.^M
Cannot find thread 8192: generic error^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/pthreads.exp: continue to bkpt at common_routine in thread 2
With FSF T+E+D, this test always PASSes. It's probably some difference
in the Expect versions and ^C handling or thread handling. In any case,
this is a separate issue from the gdb_test_multiple patch, I'm just
throwing it into the knowledge heap.
