The test should behave the same because the gdb code that generates

perhaps I should not have committed the testcase in with this
particular check in place (the test itself is a valid one regardless).
There has been some questions regarding whether I should be using an
observer or not. Knowing that, do I still need to do the following or
can I check the change I attached in once I get final approval on the
code and most importantly, the message to be issued?
I don't quite follow you, but if you are asking: can you check in
a change to the test script before you check in a change to gdb:
in general, you can do that.
If the test script accepts both old+new messages, and the new message is
not wildly more complex than the old message, then testing with the old
message alone is good enough for getting the test script approved.
Just pop out the new patch and say how / what system you tested on.
If that's not what you mean, I'm confused.
