Perhaps Fabian is assuming that asynchronus operation requires a multithreaded
gdb.  The async branch that I created was multi-threaded but the patch that I
currently have (under Daniel's guidance) and which I've previously posted to
the gdb-patches mailing list:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-11/msg00225.html

and briefly described in:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-06/msg00315.html

is not.
