    2.4 had the same ptrace problems that 2.2 did, but they showed up a bit
    differently.  And it's mostly a general warning, that rmc() call is
    there for a reason, which scares me that we are changing things around
    it.  But that holds true for the lsm patch logic there in general :)
    
    That is one place that will _really_ need a good look over by people who
    understand all of the race conditions that are possible at that moment
    in time.
    
    thanks,
