Re: Separating stdout and stderr

[Ben Elliston]

I found the problem. The sanitiser execution tests produce a lot of
output (~20KB on stderr).  Somtimes, when EOF is matched in
standard_wait, there are unmatched characters left in the expect
buffer.  These need to be appended to $output.  This has probably
escaped us until now because execution test output has been very
short.

I'll do some more testing before checking this in.

Cheers,
Ben

        * lib/remote.exp (standard_wait): Append any trailing characters
        to $output that may be still in $expect_out(buffer) when eof is
        matched. Remove arbitrary limitation in the ".+" matching case,
        similar to the change to local_exec on 2016-02-17.
