Addendum: I dimly remember Solaris boxes having a program named
strace, or possibly trace, that has nothing to do with system-call
tracing.  If the manpage for strace does not start with

NAME
      strace - trace system calls and signals

then it is not the program we want.  It might be called sctrace
instead; or just use truss, which definitely does what we want, just
with less helpful output.
