Thanks Frederic!

And I prepared another patch for tracking only specified threads.

I'll send the new patch in this thread later.
But, the new one is not so big and hardly depends on "info -t" patch.
If you think the new patch and previous one should be in single patch,
please tell me. I'll merge them.

Thanks,
Hitoshi
