[issue14771] Occasional failure in test_ioctl when run parallel with test_gdb

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I found that if you redirect GDB’s stdin if fixes all the problems. I don’t fully understand what GDB is doing to change the terminal’s foreground process group.

In my patch I set stdin to a pipe. It is like using DEVNULL, but should be compatible with Python 2 as well.
