Description of problem: I discovered the issue while using youtube-dl through torsocks with ffmpeg installed from rpmfusion. While third party repositories are unsupported, it should not be ignored that torsocks is currently disallowing this syscall. When ffmpeg is present on the system, youtube-dl uses it. Even when using -f best to download a single file, youtube-dl starts an ffmpeg process before it begins to download. ffmpeg inherits the syscall wrapping from torsocks. ffmpeg not being allowed to use this syscall is currently troublesome as it endlessly leaks memory until killed. A system with 16 GiB of swap is unusable for a significant amount of time once primary memory is full. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): torsocks-2.1.0-4.fc26.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run: sudo dnf install -y https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm 2. run: sudo dnf install -y ffmpeg 3. observe effects of running: ffmpeg -hide_banner -nostdin -y -f lavfi -i anullsrc -t 1 -f s16le /dev/null 4. observe effects of running: torsocks ffmpeg -hide_banner -nostdin -y -f lavfi -i anullsrc -t 1 -f s16le /dev/null Actual results: Lots of: [Aug 02 18:14:48] WARNING torsocks[2224]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 204.

Is it a bug for a program to not handle syscalls failing? (should they ever fail?)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Fixed in Fedora 28: torsocks-2.2.0-1.fc28.x86_64 See upstream fix: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git/commit/src/lib/syscall.c?id=e389c99937a35815e2752952634cc80c3aaf1d4e
