[lldb-dev] Weird results running lldb under Valgrind

[Dmitry Antipov via lldb-dev]

Does anyone has an explanation of this weird run of 'valgrind --tool=drd':

In LLDB, do 'process attach --pid [PID of running Firefox]', then:

Hopefully this is an issue with valgrind and not lldb. But still curious whether someone else can reproduce something similar.
