I did fix this. If you look at the patch I put in you
will see a reference to ASYNC_WAIT. When this bit is
set (as it will be for "interrupt" and "quit"} gdb
waits for a response from gdbserver when in async.
This manner of "fixing" the problem should go away
when the select in event_top, etc is combined with the
select fr the remote target.
This set of changes was designed to be under 20 lines.
