Hi Joel,

I think we should fix PR32167 (
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32167 ).

The problematic behaviour is that gdb hangs sometimes after the user
presses ^C. This may be a regression introduced in gdb 15.1.

I've already updated the target milestone of the PR to 17.1.

Thanks,
- Tom
