Description Casey Dahlin 2010-05-19 03:27:28 UTC 
How reproducible:
Always
  
Actual results:
[sadmac@foucault ~]$ gdb
GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (7.0.1-45.fc12)
(gdb) set logging on
Copying output to gdb.txt.
(gdb) set logging redirect on
(gdb) print 1
$1 = 1
(gdb) print 2
$2 = 2
(gdb) quit
[sadmac@foucault ~]$ cat gdb.txt 
$1 = 1
$2 = 2
[sadmac@foucault ~]$ 

Expected results:
[sadmac@foucault ~]$ gdb
GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (7.0.1-45.fc12)
(gdb) set logging on
Copying output to gdb.txt.
(gdb) set logging redirect on
(gdb) print 1
(gdb) print 2
(gdb) quit
[sadmac@foucault ~]$ cat gdb.txt 
$1 = 1
$2 = 2
[sadmac@foucault ~]$
Comment 1 Tom Tromey 2010-05-19 14:47:54 UTC 
It only works if you "set logging redirect on"
before enabling logging:

(gdb) set logging redirect on
(gdb) set logging on
Redirecting output to gdb.txt.
(gdb) print 1
(gdb) print 2
(gdb) set logging off
Done logging to gdb.txt.
Comment 2 Jan Kratochvil 2010-08-06 18:30:07 UTC 
A warning patch has been posted upstream:
[patch] set logging {redirect|overwrite} warning
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00083.html

I do not find it essential for a Fedora backport.
