I can assume that it is:

--//Cut of /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb/libgdb/fbsd-threads.c//--
 if (fbsd_thread_active)
       {
         gdb_assert (proc_handle.pid == 0); <<   Here is 484 string mentioned 
by backtrace <<
         fbsd_thread_active = 0;
       }
---

related with the first process php which I start for providing php dtrace 
probes. Thanks to this process other code passes through php/dtrace and this 
process doesn't stop.

Last action by backtrace is:
#0  0x00000008021c6a37 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.7

Unfortunately at the expense of DEBUG symbols, process have a bit more memory,
so this problem isn't present and i couldn't see value of variables in this 
place and whence it is caused.

At the moment of test (on December, 23th) it there was last version 9-
RELENG/amd64 from SVN

%uname -a:
FreeBSD fbsd-strace.my.domain 9.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-PRERELEASE #0: Fri 
Dec 23 16:56:09 MSK 2011     root_at_t.my.domain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/G-DTRACE
