+ space. During that window, only the vfork-ing thread (the non-main
+ thread) is frozen by the kernel. The main thread is free to execute. The
+ child process sets `release_main`, releasing the main thread. A buggy GDB
+ would let the main thread execute during that window, leading to the
+ breakpoint on should_break_here being missed. A fixed GDB does not resume
+ the threads of the vforking process other than the vforking thread. When

+ breakpoints are reinserted, so the breakpoint is not missed. */
