Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the QNX6 remote launch with the shown pipeTransport configuration, then inspect the GDB/MI log around the empty threads response and the subsequent tid 1 event. Done means determining why the break event cannot find thread 1 and verifying the debugger no longer stops at that point.
