  Subject: gdb quit command
  
  So here I am, happily debugging along, when I decide that I want to stop
  running gdb for now. Knowing that gdb doesn't respond to Control-C, I
  type "quit" to quit:
  
  (gdb) quit
  A debugging session is active.
  Do you still want to close the debugger?(y or n) y
  Cannot find thread 1024: generic error
  (gdb)
  
  I guess gdb doesn't *want* me to leave. So, since I can't exit with the
  debugger session still running, I try to kill the program:
  
  (gdb) kill
  Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) y
  Cannot find thread 1024: generic error
  (gdb)
  
  Figuring that I've accidentally selected a non-existent thread, I try to
  list the available threads to switch to one that does exist so that I
  can finally kill it:
  
  (gdb) info threads
  Cannot find new threads: generic error
  (gdb)
  
  I hate you too, gdb.
