I'm not getting any new failures.  I just started a test run in the
console; it seems to be working fine there, and the gdb.log looks like
it always did, without the strange behavior that you're seeing.

Do you have anything strange in your .inputrc?  I skimmed through the
readline docs and didn't see any variables that would produce this
behavior, but I thought I'd ask just in case...
