Hi 'body,
i've written a c program which generates children one by one: every
child is generated after the previous is dead.
i launch gdb (6.3.0.0-1.132.EL3rh) and set follow-fork-mode child,
then run the program.
gdb follows the first child, but after it dies, gdb doesn't follow
neither any other child nor the parent...
why?
