Hi,
original bugreport:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471819
linux-nat.c:1662: internal-error: linux_nat_resume: Assertion `lp != NULL' failed.
A reproducing testcase included.
No regressions on {x86_64,i686}-fedora-linux-gnu.
Thanks,
Jan

Fix internal error on dead LWPs with no associated thread.
* linux-nat.c (num_lwps): Do not count DEAD LWPs.
(delete_lwp): Only set LP as DEAD if it is INFERIOR_PTID.
(iterate_over_lwps): Skip DEAD LPs. Discard DEAD LPs not in
INFERIOR_PTID.
(linux_nat_resume): Do not resume DEAD LPs. Extend the debug message.
* linux-nat.h (struct lwp_info): New field `dead'.

* gdb.threads/current-lwp-dead.exp, gdb.threads/current-lwp-dead.c: New.
