Sorry, I didn't notice this in the previous version. on_dispatch looks
like an internal
property and I don't see how we can stop a process with ptrace when on_dispatch
is set to a non-zero value. I am not sure that we need to expose it to
user-space.

Other than that, the patch looks good to me.

Thanks,
Andrei
