RE: [PING2] : [RFC/RFA] PING: skip __main
I restarted a testsuite, but I
won't expect any change because
main seems to be at a lower address than __main
in the few executables I tested, meaning that
the value in buf will be positive anyhow.

You're absolutely right. Can you make that change and retest?
