Kernel 1.3.96 breaks strace-3.0.8, because strace
reads "/proc/<pid>/mem" to access a tasks memory.
Reading this file seems to be no longer permitted,
except for the task <pid> itself.
What access method for the data segment of a process should we use?
As a quick fix I copied the oldway for SUNOS4, using request
PTRACE_PEEKDATA for ptrace (function "umoven" in file "util.c").
Surprisingly it works!
