Yes, I know strace for a long of time from Linux and was always
happy about it because it has better features than truss of SVR4
and FreeBSD; I did not know that it was ported to FreeBSD as well;

now I've installed it on my 5.4-REL and there is a small bug
which is fixed already, see:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=62377

without that small patch strace hangs if you fire it up
with the command on the commandline like:

$ strace date
