 ...

   socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
   ioctl(4, SIOCGIFCONF, 0xeffff868)       = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
   gettimeofday({899539445, 839990}, NULL) = 0

 ...

   I don't see anything that would point to the problem in the strace
   output above, but then I'm not _the_ expert :)

Here is what is going awry, the SIOCGIFCONF call, try to find out what
is being passed in the 3'rd argument to that ioctl().
