There is no such problem on 7.11.1.

Since the GDBserver can not be closed, GDB can not quit until it gets
packet error.  (I start GDB in one window and start GDBserver in the
other.)

  (gdb) quit
  A debugging session is active.

  Inferior 1 [process 14736] will be killed.

  Quit anyway? (y or n) y
  Ignoring packet error, continuing...

In my real remote testing, GDB can quit and GDBserver process leaves
on the target machine.  There are a lot of GDBserver processes left after
running GDB testsuite.

I am looking into this bug...
