/** Try to determine if the program is running under control of a debugger.

 * On GNU/Linux systems this function will only return true if the program
 * is being traced by another program which is known to be a debugger.
 * This is determined by checking the command name of the tracing program
 * against a list of known debuggers, such as "gdb".
 *
 * On other POSIX-based systems, this function will return true if the
 * program is being traced by any other process, which means it can return
 * true for non-debugger utilities that use the ptrace system call.
