Not yet. When you attach gdb to a process, it creates a new thread to be used
by gdb. What you're seeing above is the backtrace in that thread. You need to
switch to the main thread before you can get a useful backtrace:
(gdb) thread 1
(gdb) bt
Or you can just get a backtrace of all threads:
(gdb) thread apply all bt
The "info threads" command might clarify what's going on.
