Hi Chris,

strace does a lot more work than necessary for this kind of filtering. It fetches all the arguments and *data* for the system call through a straw one word wide named PTRACE_PEEKDATA. A 'ucore' program wouldn't have to do that, because almost all the time, all it needs is ORIG_EAX.
Run strace under strace and you'll see what I mean.
