Changes for version 0.02 - 2010-09-07

  • Properly detach gdb from the process it's tracing. Do a fork+exit+setsid to stop the spawned gdb process from being a child process of the process it's supposed to attach to. Some operating systems, notably OpenBSD, forbid ptrace()ing parent processes. ptrace() is what gdb needs to attach to a running process.
