There also exists a program "ltrace" which traces library calls (shared
library entry points, I believe).  Whereas strace can't show you that a
program is stuck in a library routine that picked up a bogus parameter from
somewhere, ltrace might.  (ltrace also shows system calls)

(The Debian archive shows an 0.3.7; I don't seem to be able to find a tarball
of it)
