+# This test was introduced to reproduce a specific bug in GDBserver, where
+# attaching an inferior while another one was running would trigger a segfault
+# in GDBserver. Reproducing the bug required specific circumstances:
+#
+# - The first process must be far enough to have loaded its libc or
+# libpthread (whatever triggers the loading of libthread_db), such that
+# its proc->priv->thread_db is not nullptr
+#
+# - However, its lwp must still be in the `!lwp->thread_known` state,
+# meaning GDBserver hasn't asked libthread_db to compute the thread
+# handle yet. That means, GDB must not have refreshed the thread list
+# yet, since that would cause the thread handles to be computed. That
+# means, no stopping on a breakpoint, since that causes a thread list
+# update. That's why the first inferior needs to be started with "run
+# &".
+#
+# - Attaching the second process would segfault GDBserver.
+#
+# All of this to say, if modifying this test, please keep in mind the original
+# intent.
