Hi,
I am the author of "ltrace" and unfortunatelly it does not work in 2.4
kernels, due to a bug in the kernel. Unfortunately, I don't know when
did this behaviour started and what could have caused it...
Summary: if I use ptrace() witth a process that does fork(), and after
the fork I modify with PTRACE_POKETEXT some of the code in the parent,
the same modification is observed in the child.
I need to modify the .text in order to introduce breakpoints, but with
this bug ltrace does not work with any process which forks.
The attached little program shows the bug: the child should not see the
content of "sync" modified after it is alive.
Thanks for your help,
