Summary:                    Symbol info not loaded when attaching to a running
process
Description: 
I believe the following bug post describes the exact same issue:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17903


This works:

    ~ gdb my_executable --pid=1234
    /* ... */
    (gdb) where
    /* stack trace gets listed correctly */

This does not:

    ~ gdb
    (gdb) attach 1234
    /* ... */
    (gdb) where
    /* stack trace with lots of addresses and question marks */
