Hi Igor, So. As expected, they sleep in EVENT_EXIT _after_ you have already sent SIGKILL. Oh. I can only repeat that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT must die ;) Or at least we should finally define its semantics. Igor, thanks for your report, but (I think) this has nothing to do with mutual debugging. I'll return to this problem in a couple of days, I'm a bit busy right now. Thanks, Oleg.
