Heh. I pulled wine-git.

set_thread_context() does a lot of PTRACE_POKEUSER requests and then
it calls resume_after_ptrace() which simply does PTRACE_DETACH.

I'll recheck tomorrow, but it really looks as if it _wants_ to leak
the debug registers after detach. And more, it does PTRACE_ATTACH
only to set these regs.

And this is exactly what fab840f tries to prevent.
