Hi Tao and Alexey,
Please ignore this bug I mentioned, this gets solved with Tao's
patches. Sorry, I should have given it more time to debug and then posted.
Though I still think it's a good time to re-think whether gdb should
know all tasks, or the CPUs only. Though either way the feature for
arbitrary unwinding will still work with Tao's approach.
