Sorry for the delay.  I was travelling last week.

Sorry, I left the old branches there though they are quite stale now.
I've fixed that repo to point its HEAD and master at the current branches.

The new code is certainly not stable yet, but it is the only game in town.
(That is, it's the only fork I'm going to maintain.)  

If you are doing pure utrace-based hacking, you can play with the current
code if you are adventurous.  I expect you will find some problems.

The state of the new utrace code is that it has passed some nominal testing
(only tried on x86_64) but not really been shaken out much at all yet.
There is no integration with ptrace in the code currently in GIT.  I'm
working on that now.  For now, don't use ptrace and utrace on the same
thread and you should not have any trouble with ptrace, but if you do,
all bets are off.

The ptrace integration work I'm doing now is shaking out some bugs in the
new utrace code.  When that's limping along, I'll put it onto the same GIT
branch (the one called "utrace").

There are some known loose ends in the new utrace code that I plan to cover
after the basic stuff is stabler.  In particular, the picture for
single-step and for signal handling is still a bit fuzzy.  So don't be
surprised to see holes there, but all feedback is welcome.


Thanks,
Roland
