Something isn't quite right with this.
I was looking at a log file and noticed that in a lot of cases, we end up
doing a 32bit syscall, and then the child respawns.  I suspected it
was segfaulting, and running with -D confirms it.

A whole bunch of core dumps appears, looking like this..

Core was generated by `../trinity -q -D'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x0000000000403aa5 in syscall32 (a6=<optimized out>, a5=5, a4=9709, a3=29, a2=4, a1=<optimized out>, call=279, num_args=5) at syscall.c:76
76			__syscall_return(long,__res);

This is running on x86-64, I haven't tested actually running on a 32-bit machine,
but I suspect it's a problem there too.
