 I tried a simple example, firefox ;)
 It was already started with two open tabs.
 
 # gdb /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner/xulrunner 27334
 ...
 Reading symbols from /usr/libexec/ld.elf_so...done.

 A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
 further debugging may prove unreliable.
 Quit this debugging session? (y or n) y

 sorry, pid 27334 was killed: orphaned traced process
 zsh: abort (core dumped)  gdb /usr/pkg/lib/xulrunner/xulrunner 27334
 
 So, probably a different problem, but Subject is still correct :(
