Notice the part  "death of child (NO IGNORE)"  If you wish, you can tell
xdb to ignore certain situations.  Example invocation:

     % xdb foo -p xdb.script

where xdb.script contains:

    z 18 irs

Starting xdb, you'll see

     Copyright Hewlett-Packard Co. 1985.  All Rights Reserved.
     <<<< XDB Version A.07.05 HP-UX >>>>
     Playing back from "xdb.script"

     z 18 irs
     Sig  Stop    Ignore  Report  Name
      18  No      Yes     No      death of child

     End of playback

For certain debugging sessions, its handy to ignore lots of things.
