No, it is not trapped (although this depends on how you define this).
It is really stopped.
Just in case, and it is 'T (stopped)' not 'traced' if this matters, but
we are going to change this this detail.

I agree. Even if I know what the kernel/strace do, the current output
looks confusing to me. And do not forget the multi-threading case.
I didn't verify this, but I guess in this case strace -f reports
SIGSTOP for every thread, this is simply not true. Only one thread
recieves SIGSTOP and then stops, all other thread simply stop.
