With this version of dejagnu, I observe the output truncation bug that I
haven't seen with a gdb+dejagnu snapshot of 2000-08-13.  The symptoms of
this bug are bogus test failures in gcc.dg/format (since some tests there
generate a lot of output), with gcc.log showing the diagnostic output
truncated in the middle of a line, shortly before what should be the end
of the output.

I don't know whether this is a dejagnu problem, or a tcl/expect one;
dejagnu 1.4 doesn't come with its own tcl/expect, whereas the previous
dejagnu snapshot was using its own tcl/expect.
