Hmm, we've got ktrace already. Where's the difference?
strace (trace on SunOS, truss on Solaris) is much less clumsy to use, just
say strace -p <pid>, watch system calls go by, and detach with INTR.
ktrace wants a file (bad) and needs separate command (kdump) to watch what
was going on (too late).
ktrace has more features, probably, but I do miss (s)trace, it has been
really helpful tracking down various problems.
