            Bug ID: 25674
           Summary: Error while reading shared library symbols for
                    /lib64/libpthread.so.0: Cannot find user-level thread
                    for LWP : generic error
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I did a gdb test run with check-read1, and ran into:
...
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: no new threads
(timeout)
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: set breakpoint
always-inserted on
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: break break_fn
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: reset timer in
the inferior
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: detach
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: set breakpoint
always-inserted off
FAIL: gdb.threads/attach-many-short-lived-threads.exp: iter 1: info breakpoints
(got interactive prompt)
ERROR: breakpoints not deleted
...

But when trying to reproduce this by just running that test-case (in parallel
with "stress -c 5", on a dual-core 4 thread cpu), I didn't manage to reproduce
at exactly that point, only later in the test-case.

However, when looking at the first bit in the gdb.log, I found:
...
(gdb) attach 8734^M

...

We can see that thread 1810 has exited, so the "Cannot find user-level thread
for LWP 1810: generic error" part of the message looks correct.

It's not clear however, why we should be accessing this user thread while
trying to read symbols.

Anyway, the thread error message is from an exception which seems to have
interrupted symbols reading, and I think that is a bug.
