Description
It appears that lldb produces frames with -1 as the line offset. MITextPosition does not handle negative integers and launch fails.
The test machine was Ubuntu 14.04.
The config file used:
<PipeLaunchOptions xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/vstudio/MDDDebuggerOptions/2014" PipePath="F:\MIEngineWorkspace\plink.exe" PipeArguments="-i F:\MIEngineWorkspace\private.ppk wiktor@10.127.84.95 -batch -t lldb-mi-3.6 --interpreter mi" ExePath="~/Shared/TargetApp/targetapp" TargetArchitecture="x86_64" MIMode="lldb">

Research direction
Start with MITextPosition.TryParse and the ParseUint call shown in the stack trace, then inspect how ThreadCache.CreateContext consumes the parsed frame. Reproduce the LLDB output containing line="-1" if possible. Done means frames with negative line offsets no longer cause launch parsing to fail.
