    Here's the end of an strace:

People probably got in the habit of using strace because, with
non-free software, that was all they could do to get any information
about what it was doing.  strace is not useful for debugging except in
unusual circumstances.  The information it provides is not relevant to
this bug, or most bugs.

What you need to do is recompile with debugging info if necessary,
then debug with GDB.  See etc/DEBUG for more information.
