    Hello,
    
    I recently received a forward of a message you sent on bugtraq
    about strace providing inaccurate information. I see what the
    problem is and I think you'd be interested to know that there's
    a tool out there that'll fix the problem, the Linux Trace
    Toolkit. I wrote this tool in order to be able to reconstruct
    the dynamic behavior of a Linux system and it doesn't lie ;)
    It tracks all important events and stores in the order they
    occur in the kernel. Therefore ptrace() is not involved in any
    way.
    
    Check it out :
    
    www.info.polymtl.ca/~karym/trace
    
    Please give me feedback ... it's important for any further
    enhancements.
    
    Thanks.
    
    P.S.: I'm not on bugtraq, so please CC if you send it there.
