hm, I missed this email, sorry.

That application is passing an fd of -1 into the kernel's fcntl64(). Could
be an application bug, could be a kernel change which triggered an
application bug, could be a kernel bug.

Can we see more of the strace output please? Let's see if we can find
where the application got that -1 from.
