To re-ping an old topic.

At present GDB differentiates between a "non-threaded" and "threaded" 
inferior.  It only creates the thread data structures when there are 
threads.

I'm intending simplifying this so that the code can assume that there's 
always a "thread".  A non-threaded app having a single thread 
corresponding to the main process.

enjoy,
Andrew
