When using gdb3.1.2 to attach to a remote system, it can hang forever waiting
for a response from the remote system.  Control-C does not interrupt.

The patch below fixes this problem.  These patches were applied on top
of previous patches I sent in for remote.c.  The changes are in the
getpkt() function.
