Hi.

linux-low.c:linux_wait_for_process has this:

  if (debug_threads
      && WIFSTOPPED (*wstatp))
    {
      current_inferior = (struct thread_info *)
	find_inferior_id (&all_threads, (*childp)->lwpid);
      /* For testing only; i386_stop_pc prints out a diagnostic.  */
      if (the_low_target.get_pc != NULL)
	get_stop_pc ();
    }

Clobbering current_inferior in a debugging printf is asking for trouble.
[If current_inferior is supposed to be changed here, let's move it
outside the test for debug_threads.]

Ok to check in?
