Thanks for the report and the digging and sorry for answering so late
(I was busy at the end of June, and apparently so was everyone else).
I have now written up the problem, it's fix, and some more on
http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Known-problems.html#ptrace
In short, you can make SEE work as intended by doing
sudo sysctl kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=0
and to avoid having to do that after every reboot, edit (as root)
/etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf to contain
kernel.yama.ptrace_scope = 0
(and no other setting of that variable).
