Ian,
    Thanks! for your comments. I got trunk-68 downloaded. Since this 
level has got recent code changes related to
breakpoints,  few more changes need to be done to fork-patch inorder to 
include "PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK"
option. I will do more analysis and send the upgraded patch.
Yes, missing to trace some of the initial library calls in the child 
process, was observed in ppc
and s390x architectures. This was not observed in i386.
