Testsuite FAIL which isn't a FAIL in chng-syms.exp

Hi,

I'm looking for a good while into this testsuite FAIL.  What happens
is, that the testsuite generates a FAIL which is not correct.  The
expression in chng-syms.exp is this:

  gdb_run_cmd
  gdb_expect {
      -re "Error in re-setting .*No symbol .var1..*Program exited normally.*" {
	  pass "running with invalidated bpt condition after executable changes"
      }
      timeout {
	  fail "(timeout) running with invalidated bpt condition after executable changes"
      }

The output from the gdb.log file looks like this:

  `/build/sh-elf/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/chng-syms' has changed; re-reading symbols.^M
  Error in re-setting breakpoint 1:^M
  No symbol "var1" in current context.^M
  Starting program: /build/sh-elf/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/chng-syms ^M
  ^M
  Program exited normally.^M
  (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/chng-syms.exp: (timeout) running with invalidated bpt condition after executable changes

Does anybody understand why that's failing?  The regular expression
looks right to me.  I tried to change it to get it working but everything
I tried failed, except for ".*Program exited normally.*" which is not
exactly helpful. :-(
