Ok, I didn't ask before, but I'll ask now. What version of net-tools
are you running ?

The strace tool comes with most distributions, RedHat and Debian include
it in a package of its own. You will find it on sunsite.unc.edu somewhere.
Try the search engine.
There is a new release of net-tools that was made available recently ..
net-tools-1.42, I haven't tried them yet, but I'm in contact with the
current maintainer about a few issues, so I'll be trying them out soon.
The main difference is that they add IPv6 support, which probably
isn't terribly relevant yet, but I think that they have also been
cleaned up somewhat, and I know they definitely compensate for at least
one change in the kernel.
