Still, somme issues might leak out, and if they're discovered, they _do_ get much coverage in discussions on forums, news groups and mailing lists, sometimes even in technical magazines. > messages.

Thank you for doing so, as I don't read there and don't have time to do so. (The ones I do read take too much time already, lately...) > > programs I was working at used a special setup.

There's an older, simpler method called "cloning" (system call "clone") which just gives you something like two processes running in the same address space, which I used for simplicity. This seems to give gdb some bad time and possibly causing most of the issues I encountered. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
