(Kept debugger only.) The DISCONNECT command releases a specified
process from debugger control without terminating the process.
This is useful if, for example, you have brought a running
program under debugger control with a CONNECT command and you now
want to release it without terminating the image. (In contrast,
when you specify a process with the EXIT or QUIT command, the
process is terminated.)
CAUTION
The debugger kernel runs in the same process as the image
being debugged. If you issue the DISCONNECT command for this
process, you release your process, but the kernel remains
activated.
This activation continues until the program image finishes
running.
If you install a new version of the debugger while one or
more disconnected but activated kernels inhabit user program
space, you can experience problems with debugger behavior if
you try to reconnect to one of those kernels.
