Sound okay?
Well, I'd say "if this approach won't cut the mustard, and we understand *why* it does not work". If we can find a way to deadlock plain SIGSTOP, that's good, too, because someone will likely fix it. (And if SIGSTOP is broken, intrusive patch is okay for fixing that). Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees?
