 I did some more debugging with gdb-6.7.50.20080126.

 I use another gdb to debug the gdb.  At the linux-nat.c:2142, lwp_list
 only have one entry (lwp 17440, main thread) with stopped=1,
 resumed=0, status=0.  So running_callback() returns NULL.
 
 Breakpoint 1, linux_nat_wait (ptid={pid = -1, lwp = 0, tid = 0},
     ourstatus=0xbfbb9694) at ../../gdb-6.7.50.20080126/gdb/linux-nat.c:2142
 2142                      gdb_assert (iterate_over_lwps (running_callback, NULL));
 (gdb) p num_lwps
 $1 = 1
 (gdb) p *lwp_list
 $2 = {ptid = {pid = 17440, lwp = 17440, tid = 0}, cloned = 0, signalled = 0,
   stopped = 1, resumed = 0, status = 0, step = 0, siginfo = {si_signo = 0,
     si_errno = 0, si_code = 0, _sifields = {_pad = {0 <repeats 29 times>},
       _kill = {si_pid = 0, si_uid = 0}, _timer = {si_tid = 0, si_overrun = 0,
         si_sigval = {sival_int = 0, sival_ptr = 0x0}}, _rt = {si_pid = 0,
         si_uid = 0, si_sigval = {sival_int = 0, sival_ptr = 0x0}}, _sigchld = {
         si_pid = 0, si_uid = 0, si_status = 0, si_utime = 0, si_stime = 0},
       _sigfault = {si_addr = 0x0}, _sigpoll = {si_band = 0, si_fd = 0}}},
   waitstatus = {kind = TARGET_WAITKIND_IGNORE, value = {integer = 17443,
       sig = 17443, related_pid = 17443,
       execd_pathname = 0x4423 <Address 0x4423 out of bounds>,
       syscall_id = 17443}}, next = 0x0}
 
 Unfortunately I do not understand gdb's internal enough to fix it.
 Any advices?
