> I understand that can happen, but what is the use case for debugging the Web process without having the UI process? It is not like anything will happen and the memory dump seems just as useful.

Oh, I see. Yes, maybe this possibility is not really valuable
but it is really annoying that one cannot interrupt the execution 
while debugging. It's not clear to me why the UI process exiting
in that case, maybe gdb is not compatible with our usage of prctl.
The target of the patch is to work around this behavior.
