Known feature?

[linda w]

I decided to trace a 3 day long running process (the dd/bzip program) 
that was
nearing completion (had a couple hundred meg to go), and much to my 
chagrin,
when I wanted to stop tracing, I pressed control-c -- and unlike the 
behavior I'm
used to in linux, it didn't just terminate the process being traced, but 
also
terminated the program that had been attached to!

Very very much of a bummer, since it takes 3+ days, apparently, to run 
and come near
to completing this test.  Very, very sad....oh well...

Is this a "feature" or a "bug"?

:-(
