At the end of linux_nat_detach there is a check whether the inferior has a
fork. If no fork exists the main_lwp is detached (detach_one_lwp) and
later, outside the check, deleted (delete_lwp). This is problematic as
detach_one_lwp also calls delete_lwp freeing main_lwp. Thus the second
call to delete_lwp reads from already freed memory. Fix this by removing
delete_lwp at the end of detach_one_lwp.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* linux-nat.c (detach_one_lwp): Remove call to delete_lwp.
(detach_callback): Add call to delete_lwp and rename ...
(detach_and_delete_callback): ... to this.
(linux_nat_detach): Adjust.
