I decided to trace a 3 day long running process (the dd/bzip program)
that was
nearing completion (had a couple hundred meg to go), and much to my
chagrin,
when I wanted to stop tracing, I pressed control-c -- and unlike the
behavior I'm
used to in linux, it didn't just terminate the process being traced, but
also
terminated the program that had been attached to!
Very very much of a bummer, since it takes 3+ days, apparently, to run
and come near
to completing this test. Very, very sad....oh well...
Is this a "feature" or a "bug"?
:-(

the computer industry, what protects the consumer?
