No, I was just suggesting an approach that may work, in case somebody wants to fix this. SIGSTOP/CONT doesn't seem like a very popular communication mechanism anyway.
I did notice that two processes trying to ptrace each other end up being unkillably deadlocked on 2.4.18, which a fix for the SIGSTOP problem may resolve, but I didn't check if this still happens in more recent kernels. ("Don't do it" is a satisfactory work-around.)
I'll worry about such subtleties once I've made heads and tails of how UML's ptrace-relay interacts with process termination :-)
