I see that the google books link in the message above doesn't work
anymore (it gets you the right book, but not the answer) :-(

The explanation I was linking to basically said that in order to open
debug port of another task, an executable has to either be running as
root, as a user who is in the "procmod" group, or to have been signed
with a "magic" key (presumably that's now Apple-shipped GDB works).
