RE: Problems with Fortran tests using "rsh" connect method in dejagnu

["Billinghurst, David (CRTS)" <David dot Billinghurst at riotinto dot com>]

The f77-edit-*-out.f tests are fairly new.  I wrote them and I'm not a
dejagnu guru.  It would simpler (for me) to rewrite the tests to avoid dg-output
than to delve around in dejagnu internals.

The only other tests that use dg-output are:
  - gcc.misc-tests/dg-5.c
  - gcc.misc-tests/dg-6.c
  - gcc.misc-tests/dg-11.c
  - gcc.misc-tests/dg-12.c
Do these tests work for you?

Therefore:
 - the tests may be wrong in some subtle way
 - there may be some problem with the g77 testsuite harness
 - you may have found a long-standing dejagnu or testsuite bug
 - the best fix may be a rewrite of the tests.

Is anyone else using the "rsh" connect method to do remote testing with
a target?  All goes well until I get to the fortran tests; the output
seems to be going to the wrong place:

Running /u1/hack/gnu-toolchain/gcc/gcc/gcc/testsuite/g77.dg/dg.exp ...

...etc.  The problem doesn't happen with all the tests, just some of
them.

Am I the only person seeing this?  I'm working on an automated tester
for a half-dozen or so NetBSD targets, and the "rsh" connect method is
definitely the most covenient...
