This doesn't seem to work. The program in question is an Ada program. The
program just sits there like a stunned rabbit.

Try the following trick: send a SIGINT to the process you're debugging.
If the process has a terminal, you can simply press "Control-C" in that
terminal, but otherwise a well placed "kill -INT pid" command should
also work as well.

Problems with gdb IRIX and signals

[avasile]

I'm trying to debug a program under IRIX 6.5 and when I attach to an
already running program once I type cont
there is to way to interrupt the program under test. The code hits the
breakpoints I set but there is no way to interrupt the program.

Versions are gdb 5.3 and gcc 2.8.1 - not quite state of the art but I've
tried to compile later version with this ancient toolset but have had no
joy and have given up.
