What I do is to attach "/bin/sh" to the container with this program.
The container is a VPS running busybox with the full isolation.

echo $$ gives the real pid.
All the forked processes appears in the pid namespace, they are visible 
through /proc with the virtual pid.
I am not able to change to the /proc/self directory (I assume this is 
normal).
