I took a little bit of time to experiment today. The experimentation
was conducted with Linux 3.13.0-39-generic from x86_64 Ubuntu.
In both cases, when GDB runs the program or attaches to a program,
killing GDB while the inferior is still running detaches GDB from
the inferior, which means it keeps running.
I will adapt my patch when I have a moment.
