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? Mark
