Could you check what caused the breakage?  It *may* have been the ptid
changes I made, or not.

        Use ptid_t.tid to store thread ids instead of ptid_t.pid.

        * gnu-nat.c (inf_validate_procs): If this is the first time we're
        seeing a thread id, extend the main thread's ptid.  If we still
        have pending execs, don't be verbose about new threads.
        (gnu_wait, gnu_resume, gnu_attach, gnu_thread_alive)
        (gnu_pid_to_str, cur_thread, sig_thread_cmd): Adjust.
        * i386gnu-nat.c (gnu_fetch_registers, gnu_store_registers):
        Adjust.

If nothing obvious turns up, could you open up a bug report
with a testcase and instructions, please?
