Hello,

There is a regression that affects the release branch and causes some
control characters to be printed infinitely when listing source files
(see <https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-03/msg00611.html>).
This one isn't fixed.

There is a testsuite issue that was fixed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-03/msg00142.html>
(gdb/testsuite: Prepare for DejaGnu 1.6.2), but I haven't seen the
corresponding commit in gdb-8.3-branch.  The commit that causes the
issue is in the branch.  I posted a message in that thread asking if it
makes sense to include it in the release branch.

There is another testsuite issue that was fixed, but the fix doesn't seem
to be in the release branch yet
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-03/msg00613.html>.


Thanks!
