Keith,

I don't remember why this was added to infrun.c.  It seems redundant 
there.  Rab, the debugger guy on the Project Builder team, has been 
here longer than I and may remember, but he is on vacation this week.  
I will ask him when he gets back.

It is obviously needed in the other place it occurs: 
do_captured_thread_select, since the user could switch the thread in 
the console, and it would be good if the UI tracked that...

Jim
