Hi,

When I do process(PATH).function("*") for a running process only the
main thread is probed.
I would expect it to probe any task with the specified command name.
This I can acheive only when I start the probe before the threads are created.

Is this the expected behavior?
Is there a way to probe all threads of a running process?

Thanks,

This might relate to bug http://sourceware.org/PR12642 that was fixed
in release 2.1.
