Yes, haven't seen much from him lately.  Must be busy or vacation...

I think I've also seen these posted in the past from users.  We hadn't
experienced it until recently, just went into "production" this summer.

Sorry, don't know about the mid: protocol.  Not sure how to get to the
reference you sent.  From your email it looks like gdb has the ability
to attach to a running process.  We have dbx which I don't believe 
can do that.  It would be nice to confirm our issues are the same though.
What I'd really like is to find a way to recreate the problem.
