First of all, though, it sends the debuginfod-related prompt to me 12 
times. I'm guessing that's because there is some scenario running 
internally that tries to send some other commands to GDB while it's 
waiting for a particular response (y/n), so it repeats the question 11 
times instead of reacting to those commands.
