Found the problem was most probably due to a Fedora patch posted here without
the FSF GDB acceptance intention:
	[gdb FYI-patch] callback-mode readline-6.0 regression
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-11/msg00596.html

That patch is needed only with readline-6.0 and neither with 5.1 nor 6.1.
That patch accidentally did rl_set_prompt (NULL).

(FSF GDB should import readline-6.1 but that is offtopic in this thread.)

Therefore not going to check-in this patch.


Thanks,
Jan
