I think that the wording that you added is fine, though I find it
confusing to see that there's a new thread, [New Thread 10250], but
that GDB is unable to switch to it. I think it might be less
confusing if the [New Thread...] message did not appear at all. I'm
guessing though that suppressing that message would not be easy, and
probably not worthwhile, especially for a case that's not supposed to
happen.
