Cool.  I change hook-stop to:
define hook-stop
   if $stop_recording_on_next_stop
     set $stop_recording_on_next_stop=0
     record save
     record stop
    c
     end
   end

It looks not bad, but got a lot of:
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---q

If you don't mind, I will post a patch to change each fprintf_filtered
in record.c to fprintf_unfiltered.

Thanks,
