Public bug reported:

A number of our binaries cause this message from gdb when I run under
gdb:

    $ gdb ./Reaper_test 
    GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.8-0ubuntu1) 7.8
    ...
    Reading symbols from ./Reaper_test...done.
    (gdb) run
    Starting program: /home/michi/src/fix-reaper-test/build/test/gtest/scopes/internal/Reaper/Reaper_test 
    Got object file from memory but can't read symbols: File truncated.

At that point, gdb consumes 100% and does not respond to SIGINT,
SIGQUIT, or anything other than SIGKILL, as far as I can tell.

It turns out that, after waiting a looong time (as in around 85
seconds), gdb recovers and appears to run the code normally. Neither the
error message nor the long wait are nice.

To reproduce, grab lp:~michihenning/unity-scopes-api/fix-reaper-test and
check out revision 474.

Build the project:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug ..
$ cd test/gtest/scopes/internal/Reaper
$ gdb ./Reaper_test
