-1) You can't exit at the end with CTRL-D, the process has to be killed. Typing
-"q" just makes it hang.
+The test mi-async.exp in gdb.mi works with `runtest gdb.mi/"*.exp"' but not
+`make check RUNTESFLAGS=mi-async.exp'.  GDB doesn't always stop after
+`start' has been issued.  I have witnessed this sometimes when running
+the excutable basics interactively with the start command.  I guess this is
+due to spurious other events but I don't know what they are.
 
-2) The inferior can't accept input (on the same terminal):
+Failures in the gdb.mi testsuite when running asynchronously
+(set GDBFLAGS "-nw --async" in site.exp) are sometimes due to switching
+thread e.g.
 
--exec-run
-^running
-(gdb)
-Enter value for n1 : 5
-Enter value for n2 :
-Suspended (tty input)
