We can have more stops than resumes.

 #1 - resume everything (1000 threads)
 #2 - event in one thread triggers, we call target_wait
 #3 - gdb decides to leave thread stopped.
 #4 - one hour passes, while threads poke at memory.
 #5 - another event triggers, and we call target_wait again

No resume happened between #2 and #5.
