[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?
