    "syscall"
)
func main() {
    args := []string{"ls", "-ld"}
    env := os.Environ()
    syscall.Exec("/usr/bin/ls", args, env)
}
When I run 'strace -f ./exec-ls' on this built executable, with '-f' to follow sub-processes, strace is getting stuck.

What did you expect to see?

Expecting strace to run.

What did you see instead?
