Ah, thanks.  I guess I never knew that's what --- meant.

It's good to know that it's worked in the past.  Thread
debugging using gdbserver seems to be extremely fragile (on all
target architectures).  I spent most of the day Friday trying
to get thread debugging working with an ARM9 target, and I made
zero progress.  There doesn't appear to be any documentation on
either how thread debugging with gdbserver is supposed to work
or on how to get it to work.
