Sounds like you are in non-stop mode...  our stub 

In 'Remote Protocol Support for Non-Stop Mode' (part of appendix E), it says in part:

    If all threads are running when the target receives the '?' packet,
    or if the target is not attached to any process, it shall respond 'OK'.

I don’t know about others, but we operate in non-stop mode and if there
 are no stopped threads, we respond with 'OK'.
