Hi,

this was completely debugged by Pedro so just wrote it and posted.
I mentioned+filed this problem at:
	Re: Sending signal to inferior program.
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2011-06/msg00036.html

procfs.c contains such fix but #if0-ed, left it as is:
    /* FIXME: should we use waitpid to make sure we get the right event?
       Should we check the returned event?  */
    {
#if 0
      int status, ret;

      ret = waitpid (pi->pid, &status, 0);
#else
      wait (NULL);
#endif

proc-api.c also contains dangerous wait() call but both are for procfs
platforms.

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora15-linux-gnu.  I have not
regression tested the modified PPC* file.  The testcase can have false PASS
(with buggy GDB) but I do not see how to avoid it.

I will check it in with no comments.


Thanks,
Jan
