Subject: Re: "No registers" or "No inferior to debug"?
X-SW-Source: 2003-10/txt/msg00226.txt.bz2

Look at your use case:

  (gdb) info registers
  No registers
  User: "Huh?  How come there aren't any registers?  Wha?"

  (gdb) info registers
  The program is not being run
  User: "Oh, okay, I guess I can't see the registers right now."

So I like "The program is not being run."
"The inferior program is not being run." would be okay too.
