Barry,
I'm not 100% how to interpret the character escapes used in the strace
output, but they don't look very correct. The sa_data field is supposed
to contain an encoded AX.25 callsign representing the NetRom port
callsign as read from your /etc/ax25/nrports file.

Double check that your /etc/ax25/nrports file is formatted correctly.
If it is, then we'll need to think of what next to try.

Terry
