Hi Kalle,

I have successfully attached gdb to the primary exec server (pid 5), but it
is quite unstable, and not recommended.
Marcus,
Are you aware that you can do
$ gdb /hurd/exec
...
(gdb) set noninvasive on
(gdb) attach 5
...
(gdb)
to debug essential system servers? You cannot really control program
flow this way, but backtraces should work fine, and you can print
variables (and watch them change underneath you).
