dbus:
prctl(0x8, 0x1, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
named:
named: -u with Linux threads not supported: requires kernel support for
prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS)
prctl(0x8, 0x1, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
ntpd:
prctl(0x8, 0x1, 0xffffffffffffffa8, 0x1, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
prctl(0x8, 0x1, 0, 0, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
