There is indeed an issue with these tests: there is a missing "untrack all pids"
which should be done at the very beginning of each test to have the expected
behavior. AFAIU this explains why there is a small window where traced applications
can generate events when none are expected.

Fixing this should solve the issues without requiring any addition to the test
program.

Thanks,

Mathieu
