1) On 3.0-R (and -current from a week ago), the ktrace(1) man page
   mentions:

     -p pid  Enable (disable) tracing on the indicated process id (only one -p
				  flag is permitted).

	For fun, I decided to try:

	ktrace -p 1

	... and it works: every time I kill some random getty, the getty
	is respawned and the relevant stuff is logged in ./ktrace.out.

	However, subsequent invokations of "ktrace -p 1" do NOT turn
	off the tracing (it only resets the ktrace.out file, and
	logging continues).

	Only way out -> reboot or symlink to /dev/null (haven't tried) otherwise
	you risk filling the disk.

2) Still on 3.0-R, truss(1) mentions:

	# Follow an already-running process
		$ truss -p 1

	... and that works, though on a recent -current (~1 week ago),
	it hung my machine.  Will try to reproduce.
