Actually on second thought the reason it causes a permission denied with valgrind is probably because valgrind corrects some invalid accesses.
valgrind for strace says: ==9083== Invalid write of size 1 ==9083== at 0x407E05: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x408171: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x40CB48: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x405C0D: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x404915: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x4E4A5A5: (below main) (in /lib/libc-2.9.so) ==9083== Address 0x519f386 is 0 bytes after a block of size 134 alloc'd ==9083== at 0x4C278AE: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:207) ==9083== by 0x408259: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x40CB82: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x40550F: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x404915: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x4E4A5A5: (below main) (in /lib/libc-2.9.so) ==9083== ==9083== Invalid read of size 1 ==9083== at 0x4C28034: strlen (mc_replace_strmem.c:242) ==9083== by 0x4081DE: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x40CB48: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x405C0D: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x404915: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x4E4A5A5: (below main) (in /lib/libc-2.9.so) ==9083== Address 0x519f386 is 0 bytes after a block of size 134 alloc'd ==9083== at 0x4C278AE: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:207) ==9083== by 0x408259: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x40CB82: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x40550F: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x404915: (within /usr/bin/strace) ==9083== by 0x4E4A5A5: (below main) (in /lib/libc-2.9.so) ==9083== -- strace: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x00000000026452c0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
