What do you think of this? On the theory that you can go look up
thread #2, either in 'info threads' or in a previous notification:
[Switching from thread #2 to thread #3, Thread 0x41001960 (LWP 14407)]
Or, migrating the "Thread" out:
[Switching from thread #2 to thread #3, 0x41001960 (LWP 14407)]
But that might be tricky with multi-process, some ptid_t's are not
threads.
