Folks

We just picked up the gnu BETA tape from USENIX@Anaheim and I'm
looking at gdb.texinfo. I've read through it twice (albeit with
bleary, bloodshot eyes) and I want to confirm some features.

Here's my first question:

	I need a multiprocessing debugger on SVR3.2/i386 and above.
	(Please no sbd(1) or /proc comments.) It looks as if I can
	use the attach and detach commands to flop between "running"
	processes, but my guess is that to debug downstream of a
	fork(2), the children need to be wait(2)ing. Yes?

Please send me mail on the viability of, and discussing the means for,
multiprocesses application debugging via gdb(1).
