Can you confirm that 2003 is the  correct year for the start

Two spaces after the period.

I am not quite sure about how well how the above would work in practice.
How about restarting GDB, and do an "attach" gdb_test? That  way, we
can  kill the inferior process from GDB as well. (it's a good thing
you used a 30-times loops as well  to make sure the process eventually
terminates on its own as well).
