The first pattern can eat up the text expected to be matched by the third
pattern.  This way the loop will never finish.  Or do I miss something?

The first pattern can match at once something like:
confirm:  Whether to confirm potentially dangerous operations is o history filename:  The filename in which to record the command history is listsize:  Number of source lines gdb will list by default is 10 Writing into executable (gdb)
