Way back when it was difficult to run Xastir under GDB because of
the multi-threading and multi-process nature of Xastir.  I seem to
recall having to add a patch to GDB or to DDD or UPS debuggers at
the time in order to allow them to follow a fork or a thread.
Hopefully that situation is resolved by this point and the debugger
binaries have the necessary code in them already to deal with such
matters.  It's been a while since I had to debug at that level in C.
