It shouldn't matter that the PID is arbitrary; there should be an
inferior with that PID in the inferior list. This probably means
that the inferior got its PID cleared to 0 already when you get here?

What's the backtrace like at the time of the crash? I assume
the remove_breakpoints_pid call is coming from within target_detach?
