I gather from the name "ntfs_watching" that you're not actually trying
to probe any userspace?  In that case, Alex is referring to the
probefunc() change, which --compatible=1.8 ought to fix.  I also
recently added a ppfunc() to git which acts like the old way, parsing
the function name out of pp().

In any case, it would help if you shared the script you're using, or at
least enough of it that triggers the issue.
