Since we now run gdb.base/attach.exp on every platform, I discovered a
bug in FreeBSD that prevents us from successfully detaching from an
attached process. There seems to be no way around this problem, and
I'm not really willing to disable attach/detach on FreeBSD since
attaching works fine and still is a useful feature. However, I'd like
to document this limitation somewhere. Can I stick something in
PROBLEMS, like in the attached patch, or is there a better location?
The attached patch documents this for GDB 5.2, but this has been
broken forever. Looks kind of funny but I can't think of a better
way.
Comments?

Hmm, I was thinking of a summary of the issue in PROBLEMS and a
reference to the bug report (PR gdb/NNNN) that contained the patch.
But: I don't know how ok it is for PROBLEMS to refer to stuff only
accessable via the web. Hmm, this is PRMS, anyone remember how to query
the DB via e-mail?
