New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>:
Because of a strange bug, gdb writes random bytes to stdout. test_gdb decodes
output as utf8, but these random bytes cause a UnicodeDecodeError:
ERROR: test_int (__main__.PrettyPrintTests)
Verify the pretty-printing of various "int"/long values

Traceback (most recent call last):

See attached file for the strange gdb bug.
command is the byte string "id(1000000000000)\n\0" (19 bytes, strlen=18), but
gdb prints bytes after the \0. Stranger: print (*command)@15 does also prints
these random bytes, whereas print (*command)@14 doesn't.
