Some vserver kernel emulate the init process in a way that ppid of process 1 is 1. This lets the debugger search function go into an endless loop. Since pid 1 is unlikely to be a debugger, we can safely ignore pid 1 and just quit searching when we reach pid 1 instead of 0. The attached patch implements this. We observed this bug with standard Debian Lenny vserver host running Debian Lenny guest and Centos 5 guest. " Bugs closed Boost 1.41.0 test Boost 1.40.0 Problem duplicate
