double gdbserver invocation

[peter garrone]

Hi,
 I am trying to run the gdb testsuite, using a remote gdbserver. The gdb 
scripts generally invoke gdb_load then runto_main, which invokes gdb_load again 
for each test (e.g. gdb.asm/asm-source.exp). Each invocation of gdb_load 
downloads the executable file and launches gdbserver. The second launch somehow 
clobbers the first, but only after the spawn method command for the second 
invocation. While the remote gdbserver is running, there is no telnet prompt, 
and remote shell commands are queued for later execution.

But I wish to use telnet commands for feedback about the ftp download, because 
ftp was silently failing if a file existed with the same name. Having the prior 
gdbserver session still running prevents "rm -f" and "ls" being run remotely. 
Also it seems inefficient to download a binary and start gdbserver twice.

So how can I end this prior gdbserver session? I cannot kill it from telnet 
when I try it manually. Any thoughts appreciated.
