I decided to trace a 3 day long running process (the dd/bzip program) that was

used to in linux, it didn't just terminate the process being traced, but also
terminated the program that had been attached to!
Very very much of a bummer, since it takes 3+ days, apparently, to run and come near
to completing this test. Very, very sad....oh well...
Is this a "feature" or a "bug"?
It's Windows.
Indeed it is. Though I'd note that Windows XP and later allow debuggers to detach from a process without killing it. (DebugActiveProcessStop(), DebugSetProcessKillOnExit()).
PTC et al.
