>Description:
Things have gotten steadily better over time, but if I do something like exec a program with truss like:
truss -ff startx
It still gets stuck when detaching from processes when I hit ^C for instance. This has been present for several releases, so it's not a new thing, but it would be nice if this worked because it makes debugging easier in some respects compared to working with ktrace, which requires root privileges in order to function (and introduces other issues in the diagnosing process because it's running as root).
>How-To-Repeat:
$ cat rsleeper.sh
#!/bin/sh
trap "kill -9 -$$" EXIT INT
rsleeper()
{
if [ -z "$RECURSIVE" ]
then
echo going recursive
export RECURSIVE=1
rsleeper &
else
echo going non-recursive
while :
do
sleep 1
done
fi
}
rsleeper
wait
$ ./rsleeper.sh
going recursive
going non-recursive
^CKilled
$ ps auxww | grep sleeper

>Fix:
I need to do more investigation, but my guess is that the problem lies in either the ptrace code or truss itself.
