We just discussed this on IRC, but for the record:

qemu-nbd --fork will fork the process after the simpletrace write-out
thread has been spawned.  The child process lacks this thread (due to
how fork(2) handles multithreading).  Either qemu-nbd needs to
initialize tracing later (but that means we cannot trace early init) or
simpletrace needs a way to respawn the write-out thread.

I have put this on my TODO list but I'm not sure how soon I'll get
around to it.
