Hi Daniel,

First of all, thanks very much for the mega-load of reviews you did
today. I was hoping for a more positive result, of course :-), but
it's interesting to get your opinion and we can start some discussions.

Absolutely. Here is the comment that I added:

   If TREAT_EXEC_AS_SIGTRAP is non-zero, then handle EXEC signals
   as if they were SIGTRAP signals.  This can be useful during
   the startup sequence on some targets such as HP/UX, where
   we receive an EXEC event instead of the expected SIGTRAP.

Hope this is clear enough.

Do you want to push your patch for the 6.8 release or would you
rather wait for the next one?
