Subject: Debugging gdb under gdb

Hi --

When I try to run a test gdb under gdb, the host gdb hangs.

The hang occurs when the test gdb is executing pex_unix_exec_child().
As soon as the test gdb executes fork(), the host gdb hangs.
I've tried all of the permutations of follow-fork-mode
and detach-on-fork, with no luck.  The host neither follows
the parent nor the child processes.

The host gdb is "GNU gdb Fedora (6.8-32.fc10)".

Suggestions?
