Why can't you test the library with your programs in a serial fashion?
Do you really need to start the second test before finishing the first?
(I'm sure you do, but I'm just trying to understand how and when the

Perhaps we could implement that behaviour for 'gdb -fullname'
(assuming it doesn't already have it).
