On Tru64 (which we no longer support), thread support required writing
into inferior memory; so if you wanted thread support when debugging
a core file, you needed to set write on.

We have a couple of tests that set it unconditionally on all platforms,
and it seems to have no adverse effect. Beyond that, I'm not sure.
