In the loop that runs through the shell, fork-child.c:startup_inferior,
nothing inserts breakpoints/watchpoints.  So nothing ends up
setting lwp->arch_private->debug_registers_changed, and so we should
not be setting DR_CONTROL to 0 for the wrapper shell.  Do you
actually see it happen?

Looks okay to me.
