aah...my other mail just criss-crossed yours.

I quickly ran on the said x86 box, loaded with -tip (commit
7818b3d0fc68f5c2a85fed86d9fa37131c5a3068) and it runs fine.

[root@llm05 prasadkr]# cat oleg.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(void)
{
int pid, status, i;

pid = fork();
if (!pid)
for (;;);

sleep(1);
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);

assert(pid == wait(&status));
assert(WIFSTOPPED(status));

for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, 0,0) == 0);

printf("wait %d ...\n", i);
assert(pid == wait(&status));

assert(WIFSTOPPED(status) && WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGTRAP);
}

kill(pid, SIGKILL);
return 0;
}

[root@llm05 prasadkr]# gcc -o oleg oleg.c -g -Wall
[root@llm05 prasadkr]# ./oleg
wait 0 ...
wait 1 ...
wait 2 ...
wait 3 ...
wait 4 ...
wait 5 ...
wait 6 ...
wait 7 ...
wait 8 ...
wait 9 ...
[root@llm05 prasadkr]#

Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
