SubjectRe: [patch] O(1) sys_exit(), threading, scalable-exit-2.5.31-A6

the attached patch ontop of BK-curr fixes the ptrace wait4() anomaly that
can be observed in any previous Linux kernel i could get my hands at. So
in fact ->ptrace_children, besides being a speedup, also fixed a bug that
couldnt be fixed in any satisfactory way before.
