It doesn't happen on OS X, though when it comes to signal handling in the debugger OS X is an odd fish... > > As it turned out, my initial analysis was incorrect. m_resume_signal is > calculated from StopInfo::m_value (now I wonder why do we need two fields for > that?). The signal that you stop with is not necessarily the one you are going to resume with. For instance, if you use "process handle SIG_SOMESIG -p 0" to tell lldb not to propagate the signal, then the resume signal will be nothing, even though the stop signal is SIG_SOMESIG. > And after mmap call, m_stop_info on the thread is null.

When the expression evaluation completes, the StopInfo from the last "natural" stop should be put back in place in the thread. After all, if you hit a breakpoint, run an expression, then ask why that thread stopped, you want to see "hit a breakpoint" not "ran a function call". Sounds like that is failing somehow.
