Thanks for the patches.  The first two in the series fix issues
introduced by some modifications I've made, and I apologize for that.

I wonder if the failures have something to do with the recent
modifications I've made on 'set print inferior-events' and the messages
printed when the inferior is killed.  Anyway, something to keep in mind.
