I can take a look, but this will take some time - until I get home beginning of may.
So maybe we should leave the review request open.
(or, of course - somebody else fixes the problem)

Could not reliably reproduce this, but often happens when breaking in AStylePlugin::formatSourceWithStyle and stepping through it. That could also be a reason for hanging of GDB when 'ready_for_next_command' does not get set correctly.
