[OFF-TOPIC ?] profiling and execl

From: Chris Jacobson (fear@ATHENET.NET)

I use the copyover patch - its an invaluable aid!

However, one problem I have with it is that one cannot use profiling
enabled and call execl - this results in the replacement process either
being terminated (no core), or not executing (still haven't determined
which of the two it is), and no gmon.out file being output.

Is there a way to exec??() and still get the profiler dump?
