   What aid can gdb give me when I encounter a fork?

   Can I get gdb to automatically attach to the new process?

     pid = fork();
     if (pid == 0) {
	<childs_journeys>
     }
     else if (pid > 0) {
	<parental_trip>
     }
     else abort();

   If I set a breakpoint in the middle of childs_journeys will it ever get
   there?

   It doesn't seem to.  I hit breakpoints in the middle of parental_trip,
   but never in childs_journeys.  If I use 'ps', I find defunct, Zombies,
   hardly what I want my children to be.

   What can I do, all the interesting stuff in this program is in the
   children!  (I know living life through my children is never good for
   anyone.) 

   Thanks,

   Jerry.
