I need to use gdb to check some initialization functions which are called
during the time when the daemon is stopped and restarted  ... I usually do
gdb <unstripped object file> <pid of the daemon> but this will not help when
I am stopping the daemon and then restarting ...  how do I use gdb to this
effect ?
