Condor uses clone in a way that causes GDB grief. Running a Condor daemon under GDB will likely fail with errors similar to: {code} warning: Can't attach LWP -1: No such process ../../gdb/linux-thread-db.c:389: internal-error: thread_get_info_callback: Assertion `inout->thread_info != NULL' failed. A problem internal to GDB has been detected, further debugging may prove unreliable. Quit this debugging session? (y or n) {endcode} The solution is to tell Condor to not to use clone, but to fall back on the fork code path. In your Condor configuration file, use: {code} USE_CLONE_TO_CREATE_PROCESSES = false {endcode} (This page primarily exists as search bait, so that others hitting this error can quickly find the solution.)
