It's been a week, and I haven't gotten any response yet.
Ping ...

This patch reverts a recent patch in lib/gdb.exp:

  2003-01-06  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@suse.de>

	* lib/gdb.exp: Set LC_ALL to "C" to avoid spurious testsuite
	failures.

Setting LC_ALL is a workaround for a bug in readline 4.3 regarding
perverse screen refresh in a UTF-8 locale.

Chet Ramey, the readline maintainer, send me a patch for this,
and I committed that patch to gdb HEAD on 2003-01-09.  So we don't need
this work around any more.

Testing: I tested this with: target=native, host=i686-pc-linux-gnu,
osversion=red-hat-8.0, LANG=en_US.UTF-8.  I tested with gcc v2 and v3,
dwarf-2 and stabs+.

OK to commit?
