Great.

I don't think that's the problem. I get an infinite loop inside GDB
itself (backtracing from a signal handler I think), and that causes
the expect/dejagnu buffer to get full. And apparently, this just
disables dejagnu for the rest of the run (can't spawn the compiler
nor the debugger anymore for instance). Maybe there is a way of
flushing that buffer when we do a gdb_exit?
