I'm trying to read a RUNNING process's virtual address space.  I think the
only solution to this is ptrace().  I've tried using ptrace().  First I
used procfs to attach to the target process.  Does this mean that the
target is ready for debugging? 

Then I tried to use ptrace(PT_READ_I...), but I keep getting the message 
"Device busy."  What's wrong?
