Once 2.4.21 is out this will be irrelevant, but would you please consider seperating the ptrace patch from grsecurity in the future, especially the pre-2.0 versions, so that people with prepatched trees don't have to mess with it?

well, I don't think that this is necessary. You can simply unpatch your tree (patch -p1 -R < ptrace-fix.patch) and apply grsecurity's patch.
