I get an infinite loop inside GDB itself (backtracing from a signal handler I think), and that causes the expect/dejagnu buffer to get full. And apparently, this just disables dejagnu for the rest of the run (can't spawn the compiler nor the debugger anymore for instance). Maybe there is a way of flushing that buffer when we do a gdb_exit? -- Joel
