Bug #1587: can't gdb across fork

----------------------------------------
When the debugged process performs a fork(), gdb/ptrace won't notice and 
will not be able to remove breakpoints in the new child.  When the child 
then hits a breakpoint, it will receive a SIGTRAP and dump core.

gdb needs to be aware of forks, so that it will be able to remove the 
breakpoints in the child.

Test:  gdb sh and break stalloc.
