If Breakpad attaches GDB to live processes as DrKonqi does, it's also
affected. As Rex said, ABRT is not affected because it attaches to core
files instead. But DrKonqi (or any other debugger triggered by the crashing
executable itself) cannot be easily changed to work on core files instead.
ABRT works completely differently, by registering as the core file handler
at kernel level instead.
Abrt looks clearly a better solution.
Simo.
