Try executing this command in xdb or put it in the file $HOME/.xdbrc:

	z 18 s

This tells xdb not to stop when it receives a death of child signal (signo 18).
The signal still gets passed to the process you are debugging.  If it still 
gives a message when this occurs but doesn't stop and you want to get rid of the
message, you can make the command above:

	z 18 sr

which toggles off reporting for that signal.  Enter lz to list the current state
of all signals, or just z <signo> to get the status of a particular signal.
