What exactly is changing?  I see some "FAILED!" entries, but I don't see how a
commit that only affects tracepoint string output can be related to things like
"Lookup mmap thread".  If the issue is that the output change caused
"Parse event definition strings" to fail, and that propagated to everything else,
then this is effectively "working as intended".
