Question: Why does a process need to be suspended before bugid can attach to it?

[dms1lva]

As written in the documentation, I tried to suspend the process using psutil before asking bugid to attach but that does not seem to work.
It seems to work fine without suspending the process.
Should I be careful of any issues if I don't suspend the process first?

Good question!
I am actually not sure why I wrote "must". I assume I believed that because BugId tries to resume the process, it must be suspended (or an error of some sort will happen). But if it works, then it's probably fine to attach to a running process without suspending it first. I expect windows will just ignore BugId asking it to resume the process of it is not suspended.

I'll leave this bug open to investigate and update the doc if I can confirm this is true. I'm not near a windows machine until next month and I have another bug open that has higher priority, so this may take a while.
