Correct.
I have done a strace using the following;
strace -opipo call bpq0 pa3gcu-9
To my suprise its size is 1747722 bytes i let it run for about 6@7
seconds so you can imagen my astonisment at the size of the strace.
The strace starts of as;
execve("/usr/bin/call", ["call", "bpq0", "pa3gcu-9"], [/* 23 vars */]) = 0
brk(0) = 0x80528cc
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("i686/mmx/libncurses.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or director
y)
open("i686/libncurses.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("mmx/libncurses.so.4", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISUID|0346, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
read(4, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3"..., 4096) = 4096

There are a few more lines before "gettimeofday" if you require them
let me know, however gettimeofday appiers 25740 times, and SYS_168
appiers 12905 times, the file ends as;
gettimeofday({935655999, 34067}, NULL) = 0
read(0, "\r", 1) = 1
SYS_168(0xbfffe6fc, 0x1, 0, 0, 0xbfffe6fc) = 0
SYS_168(0xbfffe6fc, 0x1, 0, 0, 0xbfffe6fc) = 0
SYS_168(0xbfffe6fc, 0x1, 0, 0, 0xbfffe6fc) = 0
SYS_168(0xbfffe6fc, 0x1, 0, 0, 0xbfffe6fc) = 0
SYS_168(0xbfffe6fc, 0x1, 0, 0, 0xbfffe6fc) = 0
