Comment 4 for bug 1576432

There is a workaround. Start the program, then from another command prompt or from an ssh remote login, use gdp -p xxxxx where xxxxx is the process number. This works without crashing. If you need to debug something that happens before you can get in from another command prompt, add to the program a command that stops process at the beginning of main, for example a call to gets, which will wait for you to press enter before continuing.
