# Test attaching to a program that is constantly spawning short-lived
# threads.  The stresses the edge cases of attaching to threads that
# have just been created or are in process of dying.  In addition, the
# test attaches, debugs, detaches, reattaches in a loop a few times,
# to stress the behavior of the debug API around detach (some systems
# end up leaving stale state behind that confuse the following
# attach).

# Return true if the running version of DejaGnu is known to not be
# able to run this test.

    # widens the race window a whole lot, enough that the inferior is
