I ran across this while starting to work on switching gcore from procfs to ptrace, in the context of getting it to understand threads. (Procfs provides /proc/pid/regs, which returns only the register set for the first thread in the process. There are other XXXKSE gotchas in the procfs source too.) Ed Mastehome | help
