The default stacksize for the main thread is 2 Megs. The default
stacksize of subsequently called pthreads is 512K. In the below case
that's apparently not enough since the /proc/$PID/cmdline functionality
needs a lot of stack space. The SEGV is a result of a stack overflow
again. I can't tell why it only occurs under GDB, though.
However, I'm wondering if we should set the default stacksize for pthreads
to 1 Megs, as is the default for any other Windows thread...
Other than that, you can change the pthread stacksize since 1.7.10. Try
this:

pthread_attr_t attr;
pthread_attr_init (&attr);
pthread_attr_setstacksize (&attr, 1024 * 1024);
