I have started seeing occasional runaway 'attach' processes these days.
I cannot be certain it is really caused by this patch, for example
grep 'FAIL.*cmdline attach run' does not show anything in my logs.
But as I remember this 'attach' runaway process always happened in GDB (but
I do not remember it in the past months) I think it would be most safe to just
solve it forever by [attached].
