Change Details

- In Linux recent kernels only allow attaching of processes to a debugger, if * the right to attach to processes is enabled system-wide * the debugger is a child process of the debuggee * or the debuggee grants access by a call to prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, debugger_pid, 0, 0, 0); - also see bug 245529 - If DrKonqi suggests debugging the crashed application with an external debugger, this right should be transferred to the debugger. - The patch opens a socket connection which allows DrKonqi to request a transfer of this right to the debugger.
