Note that if you're attaching to, say, the wd or dos server, you probably
want to copy the a.out for the server AND the adb command to /tmp, and
run/debug from there. Otherwise you can deadlock when your a.out stops for
the debugger and your debugger process page faults a page in from the
filesystem which is stopped.
