I have encountered this with gdb as well.  I solved this by adding the
following lines to my src/.gdbinit:


# Follow emacs when running using --daemon.  We need to follow the
# child of the daemonizing fork, and go back to following parent's
# shortly afterward.
break main
commands
  silent
  set follow-fork-mode child
  continue
end
break init_signals
commands
  silent
  set follow-fork-mode parent
  continue
end
