Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2011-02-03 15:44:34 EST 
A remote attach launch does not actually start a process.  Instead it connects to the target and waits for the user to decide to attach to a process.  The idea is that the user may want to query the system without actually attaching to a process.

I just realized that if the launch option "Enable Reverse Debugging at startup" is selected in that type of launch, we will try to enable reverse debugging before a process is started, which will fail and cause the entire launch to abort.

We should probably disable the option in this case, or maybe be smart about it and only turn on reverse once an attach has been performed.
