Or may be not...

Even if the child is not killed by SIGTRAP, it can get a lot of
unnecessary traps.

To verify, I did another trivial patch (below), and the test
case from 6580807da14c423f0d0a708108e6df6ebc8bc83d does trigger
a lot of "false step" printks.

Hmm. And sometimes there is nothing in dmesg, but the test-case
needs a lot of time to complete. "taskset -c" seems to always
trigger printk's. Magic.

Oleg.
