Subject: Changed pattern in gdb_run_cmd to match up to the first newline only.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=959fea03b51d7106fe2fa8362c9e74d4085927fb;p=binutils-gdb.git

Changed pattern in gdb_run_cmd to match up to the first newline only.
The old pattern used ".*$", which could, and did, swallow up output
that we were attempting to match elsewhere.
