  It may well be, but it isn't acceptable.
  What would break if kill-9 got rid of processes being PTRACE'ed?

  If we need to change the behaviour for tracing used in UML (or if
SYSEMU can have this behaviour), I would be much happier.
  Alternatively, if this is a question of writing "killuml" which can 
get it out of PTRACE state and -9 it, then we should put that into the
umltools.
