Greetings,

	I found out what causes my rwho daemon to die, but I can't figure
out how to throw gdb on it:  It's the act of logging in which makes it die.  How
would one gdb a task without logging in?  I am assuming that this is
a low-ram problem, as the machine in question is dedicated to a specific
purpose, and has only 8mb of ram.  Since rwho runs until a login takes
place, my working theory is it dies when trying to swap: top reports 1.6mb
of swap in use after login, which means the machine has almost to the byte
what it needs to run moment to moment...

	Any thoughts on how to attack this cockroach?

TIA
