I've checked in this self-explanatory patch. You've got to be extra
careful when testing something whose output might contain "(gdb)";
trailing anchors are tricky to use in expect, because they may match
or not depending on how much output the OS provides at once. I only
started seeing this failure recently but it's been there for a while.
