The args.exp failures are because the command-line-as-string bits do not handle single and double quotes in the way GDB expects (i.e. the way a Bourne shell does); so tests for empty arguments in particular do not work. The fileio tests, yes, those should be checked more precisely. Thanks for fixing up sim, anyway :-) -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
