nothing to do with your post except for one detail: like alan i asked
myself what a "stack trace" could be? i thought about some special
network sniffer device or even some jargon talking about switches
(perhaps from baystack?) etc. :-)

funny, i've always been subconsiously defining "strace" as "system call
trace" or something like that because that is what it does - under
linux.

as a matter of fact debian defines it this way in its man-page: strace -
trace system calls and signals.

history out of the man page:

       The original strace was written by  Paul  Kranenburg
       for SunOS and was inspired by its trace utility.  The SunOS
       version of strace was  ported  to  Linux  and  enhanced  by
       Branko  Lankester, who also wrote the Linux kernel support.
       Even though Paul released strace 2.5 in 1992, Branko's work
       was based on Paul's strace 1.5 release from 1991.  In 1993,
       Rick Sladkey merged strace 2.5 for  SunOS  and  the  second
       release  of strace for Linux, added many of the features of
       truss(1) from SVR4, and produced an strace that  worked  on
       both  platforms.   In  1994  Rick ported strace to SVR4 and
       Solaris and wrote the automatic configuration support.   In
       1995  he  ported  strace to Irix and tired of writing about
       himself in the third person.

simultaneously, SunOS 5.9 defines it as "strace - print STREAMS trace
messages". i am not familiar with SunOS but a fast look to "man strace"
seemed to explain that it doesn't actually do the same thing.

others?
