That is:
	http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/tests
	cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/systemtap co ptrace-tests 

The testsuite is actively in use but it has always been a regression testsuite
only and there are no known new regressions.  So there is no need for
testsuite updates now.

With new ptrace features sure their testcases would be nice to include there.
Despite there has never been an attempt to cover existing ptrace functionality
by the testcases.


Thanks,
Jan
