Hi !
I have a problem with strace on a machine running
linux-2.2.0-pre9.
On "strace nedit" ( the problem only occured on
"stracing" nedit ) I get the usual outputs and then,
suddenly, my machine reboots ( without doing the usual
shutdown stuff ).
I tried this again with the 2.0.36 running, and all went
well ( the output is available at
http://dc43.gfz-potsdam.de:8080/linux/kernel/strace.out ).

I think this is a kernel related problem, because neither
strace nor nedit are running suid root and shouldn't have
permissions to reboot my machine.

some additional infos:
