- Subject: [RFA] Fix internal error with 'set debug infrun 1' under high load
The test gdb.threads/watchthreads-reorder.exp verifies that the
'set debug infrun 1' debug output does not crash GDB.
Under high load, the test can still cause a GDB internal error (see details
below).
This patch checks that ptid differs from null_ptid to call
pid_to_str so that it does not crash.
The change also outputs event_ptid.
