FAIL: gdb.base/bigcore.exp: continue (timeout) ... The problem is that: 1. When debugging with "target remote | CMD", the inferior's stdout/stderr streams are connected to a pipe. 2. The bigcore.c program prints a lot to the screen before it reaches the breakpoint location that the "continue" shown above wants to reach. 3. GDB is not flushing the inferior's output pipe while the inferior is running. 4. The pipe becomes full. 5. The inferior thus deadlocks. The bug is #3 above, which is what this commit fixes. A new test is added, that specifically exercises this scenario. The test fails before the fix, and passes after, and gdb.base/bigcore.exp also starts passing. gdb/ChangeLog: yyyy-mm-dd Pedro Alves * ser-base.c (ser_base_read_error_fd): Delete the file handler if async.
