The SIGTRAP could mean several things.
On i386, where decr_pc_after_break is non-zero:

If we continue the process using PTRACE_CONT, we will get a
SIGTRAP when we hit a breakpoint. The value of $eip will be
the instruction after the breakpoint (i.e. needs to be
decremented). If we report the SIGTRAP to GDB, we must also

must resume at the decremented PC.
