The call is:
    procctl(P_PID, 0, PROC_TRACE_CTL, &disable_trace)

The second argument is PID, presumably pid 0 is an alias for its own
pid although the man page does not mention this.  Does it work if you
replace the 0 with getpid() ?

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
