Thank you. I missed that. Unfortunately, that's true for live process 
only. When loading a core file, however, thread's systag "Thread 
0x7f0786068700 (LWP 10759)" becomes "process 10759". So that long number 
part is lost.

You are right, that's a gdb question. I just thought maybe you have some 
best practices you might be willing to share.
