Hmm, boy, that's a good point.  In fact, you know what?
I think we need some sort of synchronization primatives, 
since the target and gdb can now run in parallel.

Every time we do a step/next/continue/until, and come
back to the gdb prompt before the target has stopped, 
we've effectively done a "fork".  At an absolute minimum, 
I think we need a "join" or a "wait".
