Hmm, I don't understand the "drop the bpstat_clear_actions call"
part?  Isn't that undoing your last change to the previous patch?

This now lets exceptions go all the way back to start_event_loop,
correct?  I think we'll call async_enable_stdin and display_gdb_prompt
twice then, possibly printing a double prompt.  I guess 
removing those calls from fetch_inferior_event_error_cleanup would
fix it.  But I don't understand the desire to mix this change with ...

... this one though.  Isn't this bit the only thing missing, and
the rest would be considered just a cleanup?  What am I missing?
