Assuming that the code behaves as intended (i.e. this isn't a bug), I
suggest the following text instead:

 Kill the inferior identified by @value{GDBN} inferior number
 @var{infno}.  Note that the inferior's entry still stays on the list
 of inferiors shown by @code{info inferiors}, but its Description will
 show @samp{<null>}.

and similarly for "detach".

Thanks.
