What did you do?

I have a simple Go Program Which calls
syscall.RawSyscall(syscall.SYS_PTRACE, uintptr(syscall.PTRACE_TRACEME), 0, 0)
to check if a debugger is being used or not. But after a bit, I found a very strange behavior with it.
when calling using sudo.
whenever I am trying to run an external program by calling
exec.Command()

the whole code just hanging up without any error or output. I have prepared a simple Programm to recreate the problem

Download it:
example.zip

example.zip:
| run.sh
| strace.sh
| test.go

just run run.sh it will ask for sudo. Just enter the password and see the result.

What did you expect to see?

bubun@ubuntu:~/Desktop/strace-test$ ./run.sh 
[sudo] password for bubun: 
Not Being Traced
Executing a command in Go

What did you see instead?

bubun@ubuntu:~/Desktop/strace-test$ ./run.sh 
[sudo] password for bubun: 
Not Being Traced
<< === The Executable Hunging Up Without Any Output or error
