Thank you, Greg! I got it. I'll continue working on this problem.
What do you think about the second part of the proposed patch, which is 

> The second problem is a misbehavior after an unsuccessful process connect command 
> has been involved. The process connect leaves an 'undefined' process object if the command has 
> been finished with an error.

Does it provide a correct behaviour?

Thanks.
Viktor.

Importance: High

This patch is not what we want. You might be connecting to something that has no executable. You don't need to specify an executable in order to connect to something. Anything that is expecting an executable to be there should be changed to be able to deal with no executable module.

For example, on darwin we can do this:

% /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/debugserver localhost:12345 -- /bin/ls
debugserver-185 for x86_64.
Listening to port 12345...


% lldb
(lldb) process connect --plugin gdb-remote connect://localhost:12345 Process 40230 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x1e03, 0x00007fff694b9028 dyld _dyld_start, stop reason = signal SIGSTOP
    frame #0: 0x00007fff694b9028 dyld _dyld_start
dyld`_dyld_start:
-> 0x7fff694b9028:  pushq  $0                       
   0x7fff694b902a:  movq   %rsp, %rbp               
   0x7fff694b902d:  andq   $-16, %rsp               
   0x7fff694b9031:  movq   8(%rbp), %rdi



So in this case, there was never an executable file that was specified. The DynamicLoaderMacOSX figure things out and loaded the right executable and dependent shared libraries. Which we can see if we resume the /bin/cat process and then interrupt it since there are not shared libraries loaded when sitting at the entry point:

(lldb) c
Process 40230 resuming
(lldb) proc interrupt
Process 40230 stopped
* thread #1: tid = 0x1e03, 0x00007fff8cf39af2 libsystem_kernel.dylib read + 10, stop reason = signal SIGSTOP, queue = com.apple.main-thread
    frame #0: 0x00007fff8cf39af2 libsystem_kernel.dylib read + 10 libsystem_kernel.dylib`read + 10:
-> 0x7fff8cf39af2:  jae    0x7fff8cf39af9            ; read + 17
   0x7fff8cf39af4:  jmpq   1283                     
   0x7fff8cf39af9:  ret                             
   0x7fff8cf39afa:  nop

I know the Linux and probably your FreeBSD plug-ins need to be modified to be able to deal with not having an executable and then figuring out the executable in the dynamic loader.
