Yeah, although I don't think those should be happening currently.
linux-nat.c just ignores events from lwps not in the lwp_list...  In non-stop
mode, it's already an internal error to reach this bit.  I do
notice that nto-procfs.c is one target that defers adding threads to the
list to handle_inferior_event ... but I honestly doubt the new thread
needs a first-chance resume.
