Yes.

I am a bit confused... OK, ugdb is wrong wrt multitracing.
UTRACE_SIGNAL_REPORT case shouldn't return "UTRACE_STOP | UTRACE_SIGNAL_IGN",
it should return "UTRACE_STOP | UTRACE_SIGNAL_REPORT" to keep report->result.
But it needs to return UTRACE_SIGNAL_DELIVER?

Probably we can check orig_ka != NULL and treat orig_ka == NULL as
UTRACE_SIGNAL_REPORT. Hopefully this can't be confused with
UTRACE_SIGNAL_HANDLER.

Not sure about UTRACE_SIGNAL_HOLD, but this is very unlikely race.

I need to re-read utrace_get_signal() with a fresh head.

Oleg.
