Fix a multi-threaded/process exec in non-stop mode bug.


I've checked this in.

gdb/
2009-05-27  Pedro Alves  <pedro@codesourcery.com>

	* infrun.c (follow_exec): Clear the stop_requested flag.
	* linux-nat.c (linux_handle_extended_wait) <PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC>:
	Add debug output.

gdb/testsuite/
2009-05-27  Pedro Alves  <pedro@codesourcery.com>

	* gdb.mi/nsthrexec.c, gdb.mi/mi-nsthrexec.exp: New.

Basically, an exec event is of a rare kind.  Most (all?) other stop
events that can only happen in running->stopped transitions,
but, it turns out that an exec event can be reported even
if the thread that gets the event was already stopped before.

Here's the failure mode:

Not a pretty place to stop.
