I attached my patch for this "fix".

I'm not sure that changing from ptrace() to the netlink connector changes the complexity of process management. You still need to watch for the same things and make sure the pid table is kept up to date as a process is followed along. In other words, you still need to look for a fork (or two, or three), look for an exec, etc. Hopefully the netlink information is more predictable than the ptrace() information.
