You're writing to lp->status of inferior_ptid, which isn't garantied
to be the main thread or the thread that got the last signal (user
may have used the "thread" command to switch threads, or we're stopped
at a breakpoint in some other thread not the main one, for example, or
the kernel decided to send the signal to some other thread because the
main one was already stopped?).

Passing &status seems bogus, since you're passing the status
in lp->status ?

I don't see where you're actually sending the signal.  Even if you
did, it isn't guarantied you are passing this signal.  It will miss it
if inferior_ptid isn't the main thread.  See comments above.

Also, why the alloca dance instead of using
"Sending signal %d to %s\n" directly, if you're not doing anything
else with args?  AKA, what's the plan for args?

What's supposed to happen if stop_signal was a SIGTRAP ?
