I realized my explanation was wrong.  When a breakpoint's condition is false,
the breakpoint should not interrupt the inferior at all.  It has nothing to do
with its commands.

For dprintf, it does interrupt the code.  I tried with a normal breakpoint with
the same commands as a dprintf and the problem does not happen.

Here is a session showing the problem:

6               printf("hello");
7               printf("friend\n");
8               printf("home\n");
9               sleep(1);
10          }
