Sorry, I forgot about that.  The probe used to fire  because Frank had 
to disable the test because it was crashing.  I'm not sure what has 
changed that is preventing the itrace probe from firing.  I experimented 
a bit and found that if I added a uprobe that didn't do anything related 
to the itrace probe, then the itrace probe would fire.  This is going to 
take further study.  Any ideas on what might have changed?
