Are you sure?  I did't see that when I try it.

Yeah.

send_gdb "show output\t"
sleep 1
gdb_expect  {
        -re "^show output-radix $"\
            { send_gdb "\n"
              gdb_expect {
                      -re "Default output radix for printing of values is 10\\..*$gdb_prompt $"\
                                        { pass "complete 'show output'"}
                      -re ".*$gdb_prompt $" { fail "complete 'show output'"}
                      timeout           {fail "(timeout) complete 'show output'"}
                     }
            }
        -re "^show output$"\
            { send_gdb "\n"
               gdb_expect {
                      -re "Default output radix for printing of values is 10\\..*$gdb_prompt $"\
                                        { fail "complete 'show output'"}
                      -re ".*$gdb_prompt $" { fail "complete 'show output'"}
                      timeout           { fail "(timeout) complete 'show output'"}
                     }

             }

        -re ".*$gdb_prompt $"       { fail "complete 'show output'" }
        timeout         { fail "(timeout) complete 'show output'" }
        }

The "^show output$" regex will match if expect happens
to not see the expanded output-radix in the buffer yet.  I don't
see a reason for that regex, so I think we should just remove it in this case.

And I'd much rather we do this (remote the races) as first step instead
of completely rewriting the whole test file into something completely
different...

The other races are similar in spirit.  It's caused by having a
single gdb_expect with regexes like:

                      -re "address.*types.*$gdb_prompt info $" {}
                      -re ".*$gdb_prompt $" {}

This is racy because the recond regex will also match
"address.*types.*$gdb_prompt" if "$gdb_prompt " happens to
be in the buffer but "info " isn't yet.

Please try the patch below, and let me know what you think.
A follow up step would convert/simplify the send_gdb+gdb_expects
into gdb_test&friends.

	Fix races.

	testsuite/
	* gdb.base/completion.exp: Remove all sleep calls.  Remove
	unnecessary regexs.  Don't explicitly expect anything after the
	prompt.  Eat the prompt if necessary.
