I have a program that forks another process (it doesnt do an exec it is
executing the same code just different bits). The only debuggers I have are
sdb and adb.

How can I debug the forked process in this environment. Is there any way
to tell sdb which process I want to hit. It just explodes into bits (not
very precise but fairly accurate) if I try to put breakpoints into either
process once the fork has been done.

any help gratefully received.
