Thanks Andrew for reviewing this.

Yes.

I just checked it in the main branch. I can do the same for the 5.1
branch, and it seems to be obvious enough to be safe. However, given the
fact that this is not a very severe bug, isn't it better to play it safe
and leave it outside of 5.1? After all, it may be annoying because of
the memory consumption, or because the inferior was holding some
limited resources (eg a given TCP port). But this can be easily dealt
with from outside GDB using 'kill'. Let me know.
On the other hand, I just noticed that GDB does not compile on HPUX 11
anymore. Am I the only one? I had to make a couple of changes in
hpux-threads.h and one in bfd/som.c, which I am about to submit.
