Does it happen with i686 strace running under x86_64 or i686 kernel?
Both x86_64 and i686 strace builds worked for me at the time of 4.7-owl1
release under an x86_64 kernel based on 2.6.18-308.el5.028stab099.3.

restart_syscall is syscall number 0. Could the difference between older
and newer asm/ptrace.h versions be so fatal?
