Last week, gdb.log looked like this: # gdb.log, HEAD%2002-12-03 print x^M $1 = 14^M (gdb) PASS: gdb.base/arithmet.exp: print x This week, gdb.log looks like this: # gdb.log, HEAD%2002-12-09 ^M(gdb) p^M(gdb) p^M(gdb) pr^M(gdb) pr^M(gdb) pri^M(gdb) pri^M(gdb) prin^M(gdb) prin^M(gdb) print^M(gdb) print^M(gdb) print ^M(gdb) print ^M(gdb) print x^M(gdb) print x^M $1 = 14^M ^M^M(gdb) ^M(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/arithmet.exp: print x This looks like readline 4.3 changed the way that it echoes text, and that a lot of test scripts are sensitive to that. In particular, the prompt changed from "(gdb) " to "^M^M(gdb) ^M(gdb) ". Maybe there is some setting to frob in readline to get back the simple style of echo output? Michael C
