Thanks but strace doesn't seem to do anything with a running process.

later".  I'm looking for the equivalent of prstat, or something that
will break down the threads that are part of a process to see why a
process is pegging a cpu.  Strace -p <pid> attatches my process, gives
me a "read" and then just sits there.

There is an option for strace to log the children activities, on the
same or on a different file. But I don't know if it will work by giving the pid, or you need to start the parent from strace.

Also, the command "top" can show the threads of a process:

            Task_Area_defaults
               'b' - Bold hilite      On  (not 'reverse')
             * 'c' - Command line     Off (name, not cmdline)
             * 'H' - Threads          Off (show all threads)

But I don't know what combination will output only a parent and its children.
