In before, GDB cannot throw error in record_resume (It just in my
memory, maybe I am wrong).
If we try to do it, it will get:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Cannot execute this command while the selected thread is running.
So I add record_resume_error to let record_wait to handle it.

But record_wait cannot call error too.  So I let it:
	  /* If record_resume get error, return directly.  */
	  status->kind = TARGET_WAITKIND_STOPPED;
	  status->value.sig = TARGET_SIGNAL_0;
	  return inferior_ptid;

But I found that record_resume can call error now.  So I make a new
patch for it.

Could you help me try it?


Thanks,
Hui
