Subject[OOPS] 2.6.12-rc3 ptrace bug?

The attached (radically shortened) program to measure pipe performance oopses
the Linux-2.6.12-rc3 kernel when traced using "strace -f". The problem no longer
occurs in -rc4 or -rc5. It would be good to know whether the bug causing the
problem is known and has been fixed or simply went away due to other changes.
I have been unable to find a Changelog detailing the patches that went
into -rc4.

The bug is reproducible on all -rc3 kernels I've tried.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
printing eip:
