Clearly read is being invoked to load shared libraries, and to read
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive

No problem with write (syscall 1).
Might this have something to do with _NR_read being 0 on Linux/x86_64?

Same problem reported for gdb Ubuntu/Linaro 7.4-2012.04-0ubuntu2.1,
so this is likely not new.
