Right, I briefly forgot it's already a ptrace stop and was thinking
about using PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT as the event notification point.
Anyways, back to the topic.

Maybe I misunderstood the problem but wasn't the problem about not
being able to wait for the exit of a leader thread and detach it?  We
have reliable (sans exec but that's a different story) exit
notification with EVENT_EXIT which even reports the exit_code, so I
don't see what the problem is.  What am I missing?

Thanks.
