>Description:

Trying to single step a program fails when you try to step over a function
that forks and runs some help program. Example from sysinst:

Breakpoint 1, gpt_read_from_disk (dev=0x71f36b235008 "vnd0", start=0,           
    len=156229632) at /work/src/usr.sbin/sysinst/arch/amd64/../../gpt.c:234
234     {
(gdb) n
238             assert(start == 0);
(gdb) 
239             assert(have_gpt);
(gdb) 
241             if (run_program(RUN_SILENT | RUN_ERROR_OK,
(gdb) 
[New process 14003]
[Detaching after fork from child process 21524]

Thread 1 "" received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
