In case it tries to execute an unsupported ioctl/syscall it should show up there. If not I suggest to give 8.x a try, it has an improved linuxulator. > I started to play around with the SHMxxx options in the > kernel but nothing changed.

Do not expect much to happen on 7.x. 8.x may be possible, as there is similar code in HEAD as in 8.x, but 7.x is too much different. Apart from that: you could try dtrace. > If anyone wants to try it out: Go to As it is simulation related, the person who wants to try it needs to have knowledge of circuit design at least to a degree, that he can prodoce something to simulate... isn't it?
