This could be the kernel kprobes limitation also mentioned in
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801785>.  Some functions
will simply miss being probed.  But note that they are all warnings.

This would be the real problem.  Rerun with -DSTP_NO_OVERLOAD to
disable the overload-prevention mechanism.
