Now I understand why find_inferior_id() misbehaves.  The "id" is
actually pthread_t and it might be recycled.

For example, This program shows same id values!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void *func(void *data)
{
	return data;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) 
{
        pthread_t id;
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
		pthread_create(&id, NULL, func, NULL);
		printf("%x\n", id);
		pthread_join(id, NULL);
	}
	return 0;
}

$ ./foo
b7fdbb90
b7fdbb90
b7fdbb90
b7fdbb90


But... how can this be avoided?
