Bug #1587

Updated by tuxillo almost 11 years ago

When the debugged process performs a fork(), gdb/ptrace won't notice and  
  
 will not be able to remove breakpoints in the new child.    When the child  
  
 then hits a breakpoint, it will receive a SIGTRAP and dump core. 

 

 gdb needs to be aware of forks, so that it will be able to remove the  
  
 breakpoints in the child. 

 

 Test:    gdb sh and break stalloc.
