It sounds to me like you've been debugging the code.  strace output is 
sometimes a helpful resource when doing this but only to the extent that
it leads you to the problem in the source.  If you've spent the time 
poking around in the debugger, I'll wager you've amassed more information 
about the problem than strace will ever give you.  I'd recommend continuing
down the debugging avenue you're following.  Don't let my comments about 
strace output sidetrack you.
