If a process does
kill (PID, SIGSTOP);
<varying delay, possibly even from a different process>
kill (PID, SIGCONT);

does it mean the PID's parent may get different waitid() results?
Or even that PID will finally remain still `T (stopped)'?

I do not see it has any userland impact, the
PTRACE_ATTACH-to-T(stopped)-process is already racy for different reasons.


Thanks,
Jan
