This isn't as horrible a "hack". We already have code to detect whether the process is stopped and all it does is use a different flag for ptrace detach. Which seems harmless/ok even in the non-broken case. And the 2.6.32 kernel is still in active maintenance and widely used (rhel6, ubuntu LTS, debian squeeze). So we cannot really get rid of the stopped detection anyway. If we could, then I would suggest it just for the portable branch, but as it stands today there are too many systems out there that need it. So please push, it does look good to me. Thanks, Mark
