Bisected it down to

good e7b5e11eaaa8ef93a34e68016de51152d0d62911
bad bde6f5f59c2b2b48a7a849c129d5b48838fe77ee

I strongly suspect it's one of the ptrace cleanup patches. Roland,
could you please have a look?

I'm running 32bit UML on 64bit host, this may have to do with
triggering this, otherwise perhaps more people would have complained.

Thanks,
Miklos
