are there any objections to remove the watchdog _process_ in favor of a watchdog _thread_? debugging is pain if the watchdog kills a program that i stopped with gdb ...
Hmm, you could make the watchdog send a SIGSTOP to the main thread and offer the user to either stop the DSP (and do SIGCONT), start GDB, or quit PD... ? Maybe a 4th option would be to "pause (inhibit) all t_clocks (and do SIGCONT)" ?)
For that, though, the watchdog would have to have a Tcl connection to the client process just like the main thread has.
