# immediately send itself a `STOP` signal.  Then gdb running as root will
# attach to that process, which will send it the `CONT` signal to continue
# execution.  Then the backgrounded process will exec the program with the
# given arguments.  This will allow the root gdb to trace the unprivileged
# setuid firejail process from the absolute beginning.
