I thought we had this nailed down a while ago, but it still keeps
popping up...

There was on perf activity at all going on at the time.
I had told trinity to do -g vm which excludes all non-VM related syscalls.

What is perf_event_comm doing ? Is that storing some state in case
I later decide to run perf ?
