Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint
It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
traced process that has just reached a breakpoint. However, this is a special
case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and then
we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process. If this
happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.
