Hi, list.

We are using the latest kernel from mips-linux CVS and there is a 
problem with ptrace.

When syscall with 5 or more arguments are traced, the fifth argument of 
the syscall is overwritten
by tracing code. This error causes problems with strace. For example, 
you can't trace dynamically linked
applications, because ld.so calls mmap which has 6 arguments.
