Hello, everyone.

I believe the following (and attached) patch to devel/gdb fixes PR 
ports/157342: "devel/gdb: Problem with running simple pthreads program 
under gdb-7.2 (Invalid selected thread)"

It works for me for the gdb from ports (7.3.1) on FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 
amd64, but I don't have any other machines to test it on. Could someone 
please A) review this patch, B) test it, and/or C) tell me who to send 
it to / what the correct procedure is for getting it reviewed and/or 
applied? Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Lee Thomas
