   the handling of SIGSTOP for a ptraced process has changed.  Earlier
   versions of the kernel would ignore these SIGSTOPs, while now
   SIGSTOP is treated like any other signal, i.e. it is not muffled.
   
   If the gdb user does a 'continue' after the 'attach', gdb passes
   the global variable stop_signal (which stores the signal from the
   attach, SIGSTOP) to the ptrace(PTRACE_CONT,...)  call.  This is
   problematic, because the kernel doesn't ignore such SIGSTOP
   now.  I.e. it is reported back to gdb, which in turn presents it
   back to the user.
