I have now added some debug output to _dl_get_tls_static_info() and
related functions and from that I can tell that gdb is wrong here. The
code does definitely not crash in _dl_get_tls_static_info() and not in
_dl_update_slotinfo() either.

Now I am somewhat stuck. Any further ideas on how I could tackle this
problem?
