Hmm, there seems to be some confusion (possibly on my part).

What I "reviewed" and approved of was fixing the GDB stub so that
when it received the 'detach' command, it would (a) go back to DDB mode
instead of staying in GDB mode waiting for another GDB command,
*not* (b) continue execution.

Nate: did you implement (a) or (b)? I thought it was (a).

Julian is objecting to (b) and I agree that would would be clearly wrong.
