It looks like your shell is exiting after
22804 write(2, "sh: vifm: command not found\n", 28) = 28
22802 <... epoll_wait resumed> {{EPOLLIN, {u32=14, u64=14}}}, 32, 484) = 1
22804 exit_group(127) = ?
but that has nothing to do with the error you are seeing. In fact, that
error does not appear in the strace at all.
Can you strace the server then the client that fails to attach to
different files? Preferably with a new user with no shell startup files.
