(For the record, this is entirely unrelated to the original report
#889608.)

Do you have an unusual libc or a modified libpipeline or something?  The
sequence of system calls that your trace shows at the point where
libpipeline should be calling execvp for nroff doesn't correspond to any
libc implementation I can find, and the failure comes when it tries to
open a Unix-domain socket in the middle of the execvp sequence which is
just weird.
