Yeah.

And so far as I know, it's not actually *possible* to in the general
case. I really don't think it's safe to try to catch syscall().

I was afraid someone would do this. (It also breaks most Go programs,
for similar reasons; no libc calls.)

I have no idea why they're doing that; it seems distinctly unsafe.
