Hi,

I've been hitting some problems running gdb against live processes on
ia64 nodes, often stack traces are incomplete due to signal handler
issues or such like.  If running gdb interactively then gdb drops back
to the prompt and everything is fine but if run in batch mode it stops
parsing the batch file and exits.

The problem here is that it does not detach before quiting so the
process becomes a zombie.  Attached is a patch to prevent this.

I'm not cc'd to this list so please include me on any replies.

Ashley,
