'target remote' and the return of pid 42000

Hi,

I'm trying out the different debugging configurations with HEAD (from a
week ago).

Currently, I'm trying remote debugging with gdbserver.
I'm starting a gdbserver on a remote Linux with:

> gdbserver.7.0 :10008 ~/a.out

When I use 'target remote' to connect to it, the pid reported by 
GDB is 42000.
I know this pid is used when the real pid is not known. However,
when using 'target extended-remote' GDB reports the proper pid.

Is this normal behavior?

(note that I see the pid 42000 using both -list-thread-groups
and info inferior.)

Thanks

marc
