Running the whole testsuite with single-step forced and using software
single-step on amd64 (that's quite painful, but catches a lot of
interesting corner cases) revealed gdb/14766 (I no longer off hand
remember the details of why that triggers there, but that's
unimportant). This series fixes that PR. It starts by modernizing
foll-vfork.exp, and then extending it to cover more cases, exposing
the bug on hardware step targets (like amd64 GNU/Linux). I've kept
the tests patches split by incremental logical changes, as otherwise
the test additions/changes combined would be incompreensible and look
like a complete rewrite.
Barring objections, comments, etc., I'll commit this after a short
while.
Tested on amd64 Fedora 17.

Pedro Alves (8):
foll-vfork.exp: Modernize.
foll-vfork.exp: Don't hard code line numbers.
foll-vfork.exp: Expose more testing on non-HP/UX targets
foll-vfork.c/vforked-prog.c: Add copyright headers.
foll-vfork.exp: Use with_test_prefix.
foll-vfork.exp: Clean restart gdb before each test procedure.
foll-vfork.exp: Also test following vfork when the child exits.
Fix PR gdb/14766 - vfork child exit with "set follow-fork-mode child" broken.
