Please do not send unsolicited strace output to the list.  If you send
the complete file, you'll essentially be spamming everyone with lots of
potentially unneeded data.  If you send a snippet, 99% of the time you'll
have chosen the wrong thing to cut/paste.

I guess I need to add a FAQ entry for this if there isn't one already.
