-;; The idea of the following function was suggested

-;; FIXME: This is fragile: it relies on the assumption that all the
-;; non-ASCII strings output by GDB, including names of the source
-;; files, values of string variables in the inferior, etc., are all
-;; encoded in the same encoding.  It also assumes that the \nnn
-;; sequences are not split between chunks of GDB process output due to
-;; buffering, and arrive together.  When/if GDB acquires the ability
-;; to not escape-protect non-ASCII characters in its MI output, this
-;; kludge should be removed.
