Here they are (good and bad):
http://www.farley.org/freebsd/tmp/linuxulator_vs_kqemu/

The good trace is after the bad trace.  I just kept running ktrace
/compat/linux/bin/date over and over until I got a good trace.  Before
loading kqemu and running qemu, there were no core dumps.  Also, I
compared two bad traces and they were basically the same except for PID
and a couple of addresses (still very close in value).
