The symptoms have been that the .log file > contains: I've seen this before in gdb.base/interrupt.exp and gdb.c++/annota2.exp. It happens more frequently in gdb.c++/annota2.exp. I've even seen it happen on unloaded machines. It happens to me on native i686-pc-linux-gnu using tcl 8.3.4, expect 5.33.0, and dejagnu 1.42, both plain and with FernandoN's kfail patch (which does not touch the core machinery). I've seen this with identical software on back-to-back runs on an unloaded machine. This is definitely an issue with the test harness, not with the software under test. I will look into this tomorrow night (I've already got a task for tonight). Michael C
