This is not a bug report but I am not aware of any other gdb
newsgroups.


How does one follow the execution of a child process using gdb
following a fork() in UN*X 4.2BSD?  Currently, the debugger always
continues execution w/the parent process.  It makes sense that it does
this, but I would like to somehow debug the child's process.

Thanks,
Brendan
