The fact that thread_db_detach and lin_lwp_detach don't unpush their
targect vector is intentional.  The target vector is installed as a
result of loading the thread library, not (necessarily) as a result of
attaching to a threaded application.  Therefore is should only be
uninstalled if the thread library is unloaded.  The right wat of
fixing this would be to prevent the assertion being triggered if
num_lwps == 0.  Explicitly checking for this condition and displaying
an error message in lin_lwp_detach() might be sufficient.
