Are you sure you want to repeatedly match the last character in ${text}?
That is what host_execute currently does in DejaGnu, since at least 2001
to now. The ${text} pattern fragment in lib/dejagnu.exp is a character
class; I am considering replacing its use in host_execute and changing
the {${text}*} in those patterns to {[^\n]+\n} which should fix this
bug, but could have far-reaching effects on testsuites, which makes me
somewhat reluctant to do so this close to a release.
This bug will be fixed in 1.6.4, but whether it will be fixed or a known
bug in 1.6.3 is not yet determined.
