Bah. That's typical. Just after I upload a 1.9.9f
kernel-patch-2.4-grsecurity package they update the patch. I'll try to
get a g release uploaded in the next few days.
FWIW the kernel-patch-2.4-grsecurity 1.9.9f package is against Debian's
kernel-source-2.4.20 package, so doesn't include the ptrace fix as
that's in the kernel-source package. If you're seeing issues with this
combination (and I can't tell if this is the case or not from the
original post), then please do file a bug. The 1.9.9e release didn't
have this removed, so if you were using an old version of the package
try the latest one.
