I'm not sure if this problem occurred in older kernels, as I don't use
strace extremely frequently, but when I tried to run strace version 3.0.8
(the latest, AFAIK) under Linux 1.3.97, only the strings in the initial
exec were dereferenced. The only recent changes I've made to my
predominantly Red Hat 3.0.3 system were kernel upgrades, and I know this
version of strace worked a few kernel versions ago.
