Ah, that would explain it.
The current "finish" behavior is the original "finish" behavior. There
was a period (of several years) during which "finish" was broken. I
guess the test was written during that period (or with such a broken
GDB). "advance" came about because people wanted both the correct and
broken behavior ....
