If you switch to use the "m_debugger.GetCommandInterpreter().GetExecutionContext()" it should solve this by making sure the frame and thread are not filled in when the process is running.  It might also be racy. For example if you say "continue", hopefully the process will be resumed by the time the prompt is asked to refresh itself. Since we get events asynchronously this might be a problem.


Nice - TBH, I haven't used LLDB in awhile so having the prompt displayed while the target is running wasn't on my list of test cases, but I'll definitely add it.  
Perhaps there could also be an indicator like '*' in the prompt when the process is currently running so the user will know it's potentially out of date.
