Bug description:
  I was trying to attach gdb to chromium-browser, by passing the PID to
  gdb (gdb -p $PID). The first attempt as non-root user crashed gdb and
  I got this message:

  Then I tried running it as root (sudo gdb -p $PID). gdb got stuck at
  "Attaching to process ...". I tried killing gdb as root from another
  terminal, by running "killall gdb", but killall got stuck, too. pidof
  and ps also got stuck...

  This is the line referenced in the error message:  http://lxr.free-
  electrons.com/source/mm/memory.c?v=4.2#L3146 , I'm not sure if Ubuntu
  runs a modified version of this file, though. Also, I'm not sure if
  this affects Wily (I guess it does) or if this has been patched
  upstream.

  There is a similar bug report here:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1296505 , but it doesn't
  involve gdb.

  Should I report this bug upstream?
