>From within the signal handler, I do a getpid( ). This gives me the PID of
my own process. I then build a string which looks like "gdb <executable>
PID" where <executable is the name of my executable and PID is my PID. I
invoke the command throug a call to system which forks a new process and
therefore I can attach GDB to myself.
