Sorry, but is still not correct.  When you end up with only one fork
in the checkpoint list, delete_fork will delete it as well.  For
example:

(gdb) checkpoint

at this point, you have two checkpoints, checkpoint 1 (the forked child),
and checkpoint 0, the inferior you were already debugging.  When you
delete the new checkpoint 1, with:

(gdb) delete checkpoint 1

delete_fork will also delete checkpoint 0, the parent of checkpoint 1.
(see the "Special case:" comment in delete_fork), so your
find_fork_ptid(pptid) here will be too late.
