  Hi,

The introduction of the new TASK_TRACED state in 2.6.9-rc2 changed the
behavior of the kernel in a IMHO buggy way.  Sending a SIGKILL to a
process which is traced _and_ stopped doesn't work any more.  user mode
linux kernels do that on shutdown, thats why I ran into this.

Below is a short test app which shows the behavior.  On 2.6.9-rc2+ the
last waitpid() call blocks forever, on older kernels it doesn't ...
