+# In the past we would use glibc's buffered input for the mi tty.
+# This buffering would cause problems if two commands are sent to gdb
+# in a single write call, and, if the first command (excluding its
+# trailing newline) exactly filled glibc's internal buffer.
+#
+# The solution to this problem was to stop using glibc's buffering for
+# the mi tty.
+#
+# To test for this situation we send two command to gdb in a loop, the
+# first command gets progressively bigger. We check that gdb
+# correctly sees both commands.
