This nearly killed me, but I seem to understand whats going on.
ptrace_init_task() does task_set_jobctl_pending(JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP) while
SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED, child->jobctl & JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK == 0.

Yes, but I bet this was broken later, _may be_ by 924de3b8c9410c4.

I need to take a rest and read this code again. I too forgot how this
