What I did:

- Recompile the kernel, enabling vserver debugging. [I didn't
  touch anything else in the config.]
- Run strace as you suggested above (but note that I didn't
  find a "--syscall" switch in the vserver script).

[I had attached a file with the output but it was refused by
Mailman because it is 87 kB in size.  So I now sent it to you
(Herbert).]

*But* I couldn't reproduce the previous behaviour.  Now the
vserver script seems to hang before the actual server is 
started ("/proc/virtual/" contains no reference to new context
"99"), in function "clone" (cf. last line of "strace" output).


Does this give you some hints as to what is going on?

Best,
Gilles
