Attach & GDB 5.0

[Ralf Pohl]

Hello *,

I ran into a little problem with DDD 3.2 & GDB 5.0 (Sparc Solaris 2.6):

when I debug a process, which exits normally and I afterwards attach to another
process and try to continue it, somehow, somewhere the PID of the previously 
(exited) process is used.

This only happens if a attach to the processes using the dialog provided by 
[File] - [Attach to process]. When I enter 'attach <pid>' in the GDB console,
everything works fine.

I don't know whether this is a GDB or DDD problem.

Below a little example:

(gdb) attach 1214
