Ok, so in my effort to find out the choke point for pkg_add, and in the process I've tried both struss and strace, which have failed because they weren't tracking the right PID and weren't following forks (seemed like procfs is all mucked up even though it's mounted and appears to be working to some extent --only failing 33%~75% of the time :(..). However, I was able to get ktrace output. The only problem is that ktrace(1) apparently outputs only in binary, instead of plaintext output. Can I convert it to plaintext somehow and process it? Thanks, -Garrett
