Test Execution failure - break-dbg.exp - GDB for Linux Power

[Sachin Monga via Gdb]

Dear Andrew

I am Sachin from IBM and have recently been assigned the responsibility 
to monitor and maintain gdb for IBM-powerpc.

It has been noticed that a new test case recently added to GDB 
test-suite is getting failed during execution. The case was added in the 
commit id 831b11eab51e63fb635f03001398d73dc4d888aa under your name.

=========================
FAIL: gdb.base/break-dbg.exp: catch syscall

     gdb: prevent assertion after 'set debug breakpoint on'

     Turns out that using 'set debug breakpoint on' will trigger an
     assertion for 'catch' style breakpoints, e.g.:

       (gdb) file /tmp/hello.x
       Reading symbols from /tmp/hello.x...
       (gdb) catch exec
       Catchpoint 1 (exec)
     ...
=========================

The issue test case name and the system details are specified in the 
mail below.

Therefore, I would like to request your attention and bandwidth for 
checking the issue.

Regards:
Sachin.

There's not really enough information here to diagnose the problem.
Normally we'd want at least the "gdb.log" file for the test.

Also it's probably better to file this kind of thing in bugzilla and CC
the relevant parties there.

thanks,
Tom

Sachin:

Just wondering if you have tried to work on giving some more detail for Tom?

We also have a couple of additional failures.  Have you looked at them yet?
