I just assumed dejagnu/expect/tcl did that for us.  I looked at the process list just after
running the test and there are no leftover test processes.  I'll add some calls to
kill_wait_spawned_process anyhow.  If I replace use_gdb_stub with can_spawn_for_attach, as you
suggest, it should work since we know that build == target.

Good point, thanks.
