[Bug threads/10227] New: GDB resumes inferior unexpectedly when receiving ignored signal; step/next behave as continue

["ppluzhnikov at google dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

Reproduces in 32 and 64-bit mode using CVS Head.

The test case below generates endless stream of SIGPIPEs, which are
SIG_IGNored.

When "handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass" is in effect, everything works
as expected.

But when "handle SIGPIPE nostop print pass", then executing "next" turns
into "continue" instead, as can be seen in this log:

$ gdb64-cvs ./a.out
GNU gdb (GDB) 6.8.50.20090601-cvs
...
This GDB was configured as "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu".

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
