Fix Windows sharing_input_terminal hang
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
After running a number of programs under Windows gdb and detaching
them, I typed run in gdb, and got a hang, here:

The problem is that the loop around GetConsoleProcessList looped
forever, because there were exactly 10 processes to return.
GetConsoleProcessList's documentation says:

  If the buffer is too small to hold all the valid process identifiers,
  the return value is the required number of array elements. The
  function will have stored no identifiers in the buffer. In this
  situation, use the return value to allocate a buffer that is large
  enough to store the entire list and call the function again.

In this case, the buffer wasn't too small, it was exactly the right
size, so we should have broken out of the loop.  We didn't due to a
"<" check that should have been "<=".  That is fixed by this patch.
