A couple of things:
  - Always cast the arguments to ptrace.  They are generally of type
    "long", which may not be the same as "int".
  - If you are debugging a 64-bit program you need a 64-bit GDB. 
    Sounds like you're on a 32-bit system though.
  - Verify whether your headers are messed up.  I already recommended
    the use of strace for this.  It can decode the arguments.

What is the incorrect value?  What is the correct value?
