+# https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27831
+#
+# Prior to fixing this bug, GDB could be caused to assert by doing
+# the following:  A simple program with a global was started outside
+# of GDB.  Once GDB was started, the symbol file was loaded in an
+# atypical manner via the 'add-symbol-file' command.  Then, the
+# program was attached to via the 'attach' command at which time the
+# symbol file was loaded again.  Once attached, printing the global
+# variable in the program would trigger the assertion error.
+#
+# This is what the assert looked like:
+#
+# gdb/symtab.c:6599: internal-error: get_msymbol_address:
+#   Assertion `(objf->flags & OBJF_MAINLINE) == 0' failed.
