Probably.  But, it most probably only became trivial/obvious to you
after looking at the gdb.log around the FAIL, and noticing, "ahh,
the race is because FOO, and BAR".  If you don't explain those FOOs
and BARs on your patch submission, whoever reviews the patch needs
to do about the same analysis work you've done.
Please, can you try again, with some explanation of _why_ is
it needed to ...

... do these?  For instance, break.exp doesn't appear to
need to match the whole question.

Not sure the original PR 10179 had something to do with
deleting breakpoints, otherwise, there's a delete_breakpoints
procedure tests can use to do this.

I'm not objecting or approving in any way, and it's really
probably trivial.  Just trying to point out that if you make it
easier to okay your patches, you'll get okay's much quicker.  :-)
