The race condition was due to me trying to use ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and
ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH) at the same time.  The attach was winning the race on
your machine, but losing on mine, thus failing for me and being ignored.
Successfully attaching meant no signal was generated, and we hung on the
wait4 in loader/tt.c

This was due to me over-eagerly reverting a hack that is necessary.  ntdll
has hardcoded segment registers that are incompatible with Linux, so we need
to override/ignore them.

Thanks for finding these problems.  I have fixed them, and released
ring3k-0.0.4.tar.gz
