	* sparc-nat.c (fetch_inferior_registers)
	(store_inferior_registers): Add comment on problem of LWP vs
	threads.

	From 2002-11-21 Daniel Jacobowitz <drow@mvista.com>
	* lin-lwp.c (lin_lwp_fetch_registers): Remove.
	(lin_lwp_store_registers): Remove.
	(init_lin_lwp_ops): Use fetch_inferior_registers
	and store_inferior_registers directly.
	* sparc-nat.c (fetch_inferior_registers): Honor LWP ID.
	(store_inferior_registers): Likewise.
	Fix PR gdb/725.
