On sunOS, when I want to stop a forked child and attach the debugger,
I normally just do
pause();
and attaching will knock me out...

On linux I have to do somethig like

static void stop_and_print(void)
{
printf("Process %d stopped\n", getpid());
while(1)
;

}

and then return in gdb...(pause would be friendlier, they both work...
I suppose I could sleep...)
