 Thanks for your report and proposed fix.  Can you provide a more 
elaborate log of your test session?  What are the exact conditions for 
this problem to trigger?

 I'm asking because I fear your change could defeat the purpose of the 
commit you referred to if there's a catastrophic failure causing GDB to 
crash while running gdb.base/solib-disc.exp -- in such a case an instance 
of gdbserver would stay behind running, ruining the remaining part of the 
test suite in environments where only a single TCP port is available for 
the RSP connection.
