Re: gdb ignores set follow-fork-mode child

[Peter Skvarka <ps%softinengines.com@localhost>]

I tried to avoid set follow-fork-mode child, but there is some different 
problem:

I am able to step through started program and step through forked parent 
in gdb.

I tried
to add nanosleep() for 20 seconds to forked child
setting breakpoint on next line after nanosleep()
and then to attach with gdb.

After attaching it stops inside of nanosleep(), when continuing it crashes.

I don't understand what happens here. Any ideas ?
This problem with attaching to process with running nanosleep() happens 
also in forked parent.
