Phil,

Consider:

(fhpd) load gcc
(fhpd) break cc1.c#foo
(fhpd) run test.c -o test

which involves forks, and possibly execs.  From the user's point-of-view 
that should "just work".  This means automatically (no interaction) 
following forks and execs.  This has always been our goal.

An option to disable the automatic behavior may be interesting, but can 
be added later.

Andrew
