LLDB on Linux

I don't have a linux box handy, but I'm not seeing this on FreeBSD nor on Mac OS X.
Can you check where it's hanging? Try to get some stack traces and let us know.

Backtrace from hanging state:

Weird. I would say that thread 5 is in a loop, but is it writing the prompt lots of times to the screen?
If I manage to get access to a Linux box, I can try to see if it happens to me too.

What is your distro? What is your libedit version?

Does it hang immediately? If so, I would step through the "Driver::MainLoop()" function and see what is going on. In this function we redirect stdin/out/error into the command interpreter and also initialize editline. Something is going wrong and the main loop is trying to exit and join one of the threads it spawned (probably thread 5). This works correctly on MacOSX and FreeBSD, so something is going wrong on linux that we do not expect. The main loop should initialize editline, and go into a loop where it just keeps gettings commands until the "quit" command is received and it then exits.
