Re: [RFA] Restore leading zeros in remote_thread_alive

Could you try this out please? It works here against gdbserver

Thanks for working up the patch -- it works for my target.
However, I must say that I'm not crazy about the idea that
we decide whether or not to send leading zeroes based on
whether the target is multi-process. Seems orthogonal
and ad hoc.
If your targets will choke on the leading zeros, then
you have just as strong a case as I do. ;-)
However, if you're just doing it to save a few bytes of
data over the serial line, I question whether it's worth it.
