(That's what I get for jumping into the middle of a thread.)

You're right, there's no necessary connection there that I can see.

You'll need to make sure the breakpoints get disabled
(bp_shlib_disabled) and re-set (as by breakpoint_re_set), since the
shared library probably won't get loaded at the address GDB expects
before the program runs.
