Excuse my previous cryptic comment, let's try again.

In <1990Nov28.031713.14035@maverick.ksu.ksu.edu>, jxf@castor.cis.ksu.edu
(Jerry Frain) says,

"A debugger is just an application, after all, whose data
space is no more important (even less important, in most cases)
than the space claimed by other applications."

What do you mean by "just an application"? Are you perhaps implying
that the OS (and other applications) may need protection from the debugger?
