I'm still struggling to write a self-contained example... unfortunately a basic attach and trace them all to syscall entry isn't sufficient. I'm slowly removing surface area from reptyr to try and narrow it down- its operations between attaching to sshd and the misbehavior are quite extensive, as it mmaps a page into the target, opens a socket established by reptyr and passes an fd back over it.
