Too true - but I don't think my way of building the testsuite was 
entirely according to the book. And I'm not sure I ran the testsuite 
with more than one of the return code options. In all honesty, I had 
been waiting for Adrian Glaubitz to test the patches with his seccomp 
library port instead of relying on the testsuite.

Still, reason enough to split off the removal of syscall_trace() from 
the seccomp stuff if it helps with Eric's patch series.

Cheers,

	Michael
