The man page for strace, doesn't point that out, at least clear enough to 
get my attention.

Thank you very much. I will do that, done.  Got another error on the 
terminal, something about the module helper not being setuid root.

module_helper is not setuid root
Realtime system did not load

This is associated with the expanded control strace now has, it is not 
present otherwise.

And about 150 file.log.pid's. :) That should take a while to read.

Hopefully I will find a clue.  Thanks again.
