Bah, I just ran the test.d/ftrace/func-filter-pid.tc and it fails too. This
did pass my other tests that do run ftracetests. Hmm, I just ran it on my
test box that does the tests and it passes there. I wonder if there's some
config option that makes it fail :-/

Well, now that I see it fail, I can investigate.
