Greetings,

Does anyone knows how to debug a program which fork. It seems that gdb
doesn't allow us to debug the child processes without calling 'sleep' in
the child, and attach it to gdb (Except on HP-UX, but I choose to use
Linux ;-)) ?

Tnx.

Julien,

I had this question awhile back.  Your solution with sleep is the only
option, unless you wish to add support for another method.
