Description of problem: When run on (64-bit) x86_64, then strace for execve() of a (32-bit) i686 process prints just the address when an argv string or environment variable resides above 0xfffffffffff00000. This happens even in -v mode (verbose), and makes strace much less useful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): strace-4.5.18-3.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce on x86_64 (64-bit): 1. yum install wine 2. wine Notepad ## starts some background processes 3. File > Exit ## terminate first Notepad 4. strace -v -f -o strace.out -e trace=execve wine Notepad 5. File > Exit ## terminate second Notepad Actual results: File strace.out contains the strings for the first execve, but just the addresses for most of the other execve. Example: ----- first execve 2290 execve("/usr/bin/wine", ["wine", "Notepad"], ["ORBIT_SOCKETDIR=/tmp/orbit-jreis"..., "HOSTNAME=f12a64.local", "IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes"..., {{snip}} ----- ----- second execve 2290 execve("/usr/bin/../lib/../bin/wine-preloader", ["/usr/bin/../lib/../bin/wine-prel"..., "/usr/bin/../lib/../bin/wine", 0xfffffffffff9a5f6], [0xfffffffffff9a5fe, 0xfffffffffff9a621, 0xfffffffffff9a637, {{snip}} ----- Expected results: Arguments and environment variables to execve are printed as strings in every case.
