Ok, I get

  [==========] Running 2 tests from 1 test cases.
  [ RUN      ] global.vmaccess
  [       OK ] global.vmaccess
  [ RUN      ] global.attach
  global.attach: Test terminated by timeout
  [     FAIL ] global.attach
  [==========] 1 / 2 tests passed.
  [  FAILED  ]

but reading that test it's not doing what I thought it was doing.

I thought it was doing the ptrace from within a thread. But it's doing
a proper fork() and doing the attach from the parent, just doing the
TRACEME from a thread that exits.

I guess I need to look at what that test is actually testing, because
it wasn't what I thought.
