           Summary: gdb: Cannot find new threads: generic error [testcase]
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

C file

If libpthread.so is not loaded right at the start of the traced program, gdb
produces a thread error once libpthread.so gets loaded, for example by way of
dlopen.
This is on gdb-7.3, but it also occurs with gdb-7.4.50.20120120. (glibc-2.14.1
and glibc-2.15)
