Would be most excellent if this could be done. A couple of boxen I
have here have serial consoles attached to other machines which
do a very good simulation of a break when the controlling process
leaves them. Dropping to DDB every time you reboot the other machine
is, uh, less than desirable behaviour. :-)

(Perhaps this thread should go to -hackers?)
