Need help adding a test in commands.exp


I found a bug in GDB, and I have fixed this bug without causing new
regressions. But I want to add a new test in the commands.exp testcase.
Here is the output I get from GDB when I run the test manually:

        (gdb) b factorial
        Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048506: file ./gdb.base/run.c, line 77.
        (gdb) commands
        Type commands for when breakpoint 1 is hit, one per line.
        End with a line saying just "end".
        >silent
        >printf "factorial command-list executed\n"
        >clear factorial
        >cont
        >end
        (gdb) run 1
        Starting program: [...]/gdb.base/run 1
        factorial command-list executed
        1
        
        Program exited normally.
        (gdb)       

I am attaching a patch to commands.exp. When I run the test using
"runtest gdb.base/commands.exp", I get all passes except the last one:

        PASS: breakpoint in bp_deleted_in_command_test
        PASS: begin commands in bp_deleted_in_command_test
        PASS: add silent command
        PASS: add printf command
        PASS: add clear command
        PASS: add cont command
        PASS: end commands
        FAIL: run factorial until breakpoint (no output)
        
I don't undestand why I don't get any output from the "run 1" command
that I sent to GDB. I tried running runtest with "-v", but did not find
any useful information there. It must be something pretty silly, but
I am not very familiar with dejagnu nor tcl.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot,
