We use attach and detach a lot. I recently upgraded from gdb 4.3 to
4.7. Now we cannot attach and detach.

I've had a look over the gdb code, for hints, but I can not work out
the problem.

There error message we get is 

------------------------------
# gdb test_command 4443

/home/larry/test/4443: No such file or directory.

Can't attach to a process on this machine.
------------------------------
The machines are all sparc's, running SunOS 4.1.2 and 4.1.3.

Our application code is compiled with gcc 2.2.2 and gcc 2.3.2. We use
the standard sun linker (ld), not gnu-ld. Shared libraries are used.

Any suggestions?
