must first attach to the traced process. If the tracing process
exits without detaching, the traced process will be killed rather
than continued. For the duration of the tracing session, the traced
process is reparented to the tracing process (with resulting expected
behaviors). It is permissible to trace more than one other process
at a time. When using waitpid() to monitor the behavior of the traced
process, signals are intercepted: they may optionally then be
forwarded using ptrace(). Signals are generated normally by and for
the process, but also by the tracing facility (SIGTRAP).

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also

entire enclosed block.
Add references to the newly added hardware debug register
support functions i386_clr_watch(3) and i386_set_watch(3).

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
