Yes, it is that cheap. But I wasn't clear - we have the thread the
whole time, but we don't rely on it; it goes to sleep and we wake it
when selecting. It only polls when GDB is idle in a select call for
this fd.
(Actually, I think that it continues to poll for some time afterwards
until the next byte of data does arrive on that pipe, or the pipe's
closed. That's just because (A) it's cheap, and (B) I had no other
reason to have a cleanup hook after the end of select.)
