Stagnating, basically.  The existing truss works fine; it just doesn't
print the same level of information as Digital's "trace" or Linuxes
"strace".  For those of you new to this topic, Digital's trace prints
the following for fstat() and select():

fstat (4, 0x11ffff7f8) = 0 [ , <129.5.603329 drwxr-xr-x 11 dan dan 1024 951405701,951345903,951345903> ]
select (5, 0x140007290={0x00000011}, 0x140007490={0x00000002}, 0x140007690={0x00000010}, 0x1400055f8={0,0}) = 1 [ , {0x00000000}, {0x00000002}, {0x00000000}, ]

Athough structure decoding would be very nice to have, no-one has
decided to make it their pet project.

Back in September I sent code for a better truss command to Franc
Grootjen (I am CC'ing him), who was going to see if he could make any
progress on it.
