No problem looks like you already swallowed the hook :-)
look at the following commit in your tree:

    selftests/ptrace: add test cases for dead-locks
    
    This adds test cases for ptrace deadlocks.
    
    Additionally fixes a compile problem in get_syscall_info.c,
    observed with gcc-4.8.4:
    
    get_syscall_info.c: In function 'get_syscall_info':
    get_syscall_info.c:93:3: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only
                                     allowed in C99 mode
       for (unsigned int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(args); ++i) {
       ^
    get_syscall_info.c:93:3: note: use option -std=c99 or -std=gnu99 to compile
                                   your code

Test case 1/2 is working 2/2 is failing, deadlocking,
I think even the time-out handler does not kill the dead-lock
if I remember correctly.

And sorry, I anticipated part 15/16 and 16/16 would be pulled at the
same time, so the glitch would not be visible by now.
