Hmm ok, I've been playing around with PIOCSTATUS but it doesn't seem to
work, there's not much documentation about it either so I figured I'll
just ask.

The code is here: http://alip.github.com/code/piocstatus.c

The traced child is stopped at the beginning of a system call. I await
that the PIOCSTATUS request sets ps.why to S_SCE but it's always zero.
Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? :)
