Subject: Re: [PATCH, for 2.6.29] ptrace: fix the usage of ptrace_fork()

I didn't review the new ptrace BTS magic in detail either.  I'm not
surprised it's fraught with these cans of worms.  Personally, I doubt it's
worth trying to make it right before we clean up ptrace a bunch more so it
becomes much more straightforward to manage this stuff.


Thanks,
Roland
