 Hi!

 there is a problem in ptrace code or my understanding of how
 it should work. man page says taht PT_DETACH acts same way
 PT_CONTIUNE does, but when i try to detach from process with
 PT_DETACH delayed? sigstop is delivered, and process becomes
 suspended. Valid solution/workaround seems to be in calling
 PT_CONTINUE with sigcont, and PT_DETACH after it.

 Example is attached. Please cc me a reply:)
 Thanks
