Your patch doesn't reintroduce the problem from the PR, and the new
tests in interrupt.exp pass on x86_64-linux.  I would really love
someone else to volunteer to review it though - trap_expected confuses
me horribly.  I'd guess this change could lead to hitting (and
displaying) the breakpoint at the current PC a second time, which is
undesirable.  On the other hand it might fix some of the signal tests
on software single-step targets...
