Hi,

I am having problems with gdb attach.  I wrote a demo script that just
prints out it's pid over and over, then tried to sick gdb on it:

#gdb6 program 29353

The program itself appears to get KILL, aka it says "Killed".

Same results for gdb and gdb6.  Is this a known issue?

Help will likely enable me to post a question about why my X server is
crashing :)

Thanks,

Mike
