Yeah, it does. (Well, it does after I deleted the files
'completion.exp.patch' and 'completion.exp.orig' that I created in
gdb.base; too bad completion.exp is so sensitive to these things!)
Incidentally, should the test be renamed to

completion 'info func marke'

instead of

completion 'info func mar'

? Or would that just annoy people doing regression testing?
