 Description: 
  The OpenVZ Linux kernel team has found deadlock between ptrace and 
  coredump code. It affects 2.6.18 but does not affect the upstream kernel.
-
+ .
  "ptrace_start() spins waiting for child->state == 
  TASK_TRACED/TASK_STOPPED. If we race with the coredumping, we have to 
  wait until it completes.
-
+ .
  If the tracer participates in coredumping too, we deadlock. 
  do_coredump() waits for tracer to exit and report 
  complete(mm->core_startup_done), the tracer spins in an endless loop.
-
+ .
  Change ptrace_start() to abort if child->mm->core_waiters != 0."
