Why does pinky dump core? What does ktrace say for it?
Well, for starters...

Honestly I have never used pinky so I don't really care. (WAG:
print_entry is missing a check for NULL?) I'll take a look at some of
the others with ktrace (hmm, why does the test that wants strace not
know about ktrace?).
