1. Most obvious shortcoming of the code is that it is i386-specific. I
intended to split the patch in MI/MD parts similar to what native ptrace
implementation is doing, but I haven't got a time for that yet. Not to
mention the fact that I simply have no access to non-i386 FreeBSD boxes
to test my changes.

2. There were some locking changes in -CURRENT and the code needs to be
verified to follow the new rules. 

3. PT_SYSCALL emulation is missing. It would be quite useful to use
Linux's own strace utility to trace Linux binaries. I have semi-working
version of that on my disk somewhere already.

4. The future KSE work will require serious rewrite of the ptrace(2)
implementation anyway.
