Subject: freeze when strace X

I can freeze the system reproducibly in 2.6.35-rc2 and 2.6.34 when I simply try
to strace a running X. strace-ing other processes is no problem. Nothing in the
logs unfortunately. This happens with nosmp and with smp. I would like to track
this down. What should I be looking for? Apart from trying to bisect it, which I
will try.
