#43 Debugging w/ ddd in background hangs

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to debug the kernel w/ the 2.4.18-um-39
patch. I'm using ddd like this:

$ ddd ./linux &
(note the '&' in above line)
$ ps ax | grep gdb
(copy pid)
$ ./linux debug=parent gdb-pid=<insert pid here>

Result: ddd hangs and doesn't even redraw its windows.

If I do the same but start ddd in the foreground, it
works as expected:

$ ddd ./linux
(no '&')
$ ps ax | grep gdb
(copy pid)
$ ./linux debug=parent gdb-pid=<insert pid here>
(type 'att 1' in gdb window of ddd)

ddd version: GNU DDD 3.3.1 (i386-pc-linux-gnu)
