Does it actually execute the command twice, or does it just print the result twice? Someone recently (last two/three months) reported that gdb would step twice, or continue twice, or whatever, for one command. But I think that was in gdb-mode.

It exhibits the same behaviour. I also found an old copy of 21.1.something. It does NOT exhibit this behaviour. GNU Emacs 21.2 works fine as well. I tried putting a little (message) statement into process-send-string or maybe it was send-process, can't remember which for sure. I was trying to see what was actually being sent to the process. The string doesn't print but I do note that the commands are only sent once. I verified this by printing the length of the string sent and i basically see 1 print for command and 1 print for, i'm guessing, the carriage return or end-of-string indicator. The first print would always vary according to the length of the comamnd i typed in, following by a string of length 1. I really have no idea what to even try to look at.
