I have been staring at t/expect.t various times; my impression is
that the intermittent failures might be timing-related. If I
understand the code correctly, input it sent to gdb and gdb's answer
is read. And sometimes this answer doesn't seem to be there at this
point of time.

Currently I'm very tempted to disable t/expect.t since it's both
unreproducible for me and undebuggable with my amount of tuits.


Cheers,
