There will be a "(gdb) " prompt appearing at some point after a
"continue", but in non-stop we don't really control when it appears (if
I understand correctly). It seems that other non-stop tests use the "&"
variant and consume the prompt immediately.
With this, before the next command is issued, we know that 1) we got a
prompt and 2) we have seen the process we just released finish.
Overall, I am mostly trying to follow patterns I caught in other
non-stop tests.
Best,
Lancelot.
