I have a background process I�d like to debug. I�ve placed a sleep loop at the top:

static int debug = 1;
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while(debug)
sleep(10);

if (sock_read (&msgtyp, 1) < 0)

I can attach to the process with gdb, and I can change the variable [ set var debug = 0 ] and set a breakpoint following the loop, but when I continue, the breakpoint is never reached.
