Speaking of not being bullet proof, during testing of the fix to
wait for a specific prompt an intermittent failure was observed.

The wait for message times out looking for "MyThread-0[1]".
A WARNING is printed and the "remaining debugger output"
shows that "MyThread-0[1]" is in the buffer.
I'm still investigating why the message match is not found.
Adding a final check before failing the wait for message
seems to workaround the problem.

Looks good. Still not bullet proof, but I'm not sure it's possible to
write tests like this in a way that will work no matter what output is
produced by the method enter/exit events.

The test failure has been identified due to the "int[2]"
being misrecognized as a compound prompt. This caused a cont
command to be sent prematurely.
The proposed fix waits for the correct prompt before
advancing to the next command.
