[Sorry for the round-trip time.  I'm trying to fix a bug in the
GNU/Linux follow fork support, and the only way to do it cleanly is
going to require gutting some more of thread-db.  That reminded me of
this message.]

[Moved to gdb@]

I'd like to do this.  Does anyone object to the following (slightly
different) change, which would cover the code currently living in
thread-db.c and linux-nat.c?
