All threads shouldn't be halted, IMO, but I have > no way to tell GDB which are and which are not. No/yes? The protocol is effectivly synchronous in both cases.

This change can equally be implemented for a local/native and/or a remote target - something separate from the remote protocol. enjoy, Andrew
