The FreeBSD ktrace may not decode the linux calls correctly... Please
decode with linux_kdump (in ports or at
http://www.Leidinger.net/FreeBSD/ as a i386 package).

We have some bugfixes in -stable now. One large change is the linux
mmap code. So far we are not aware of problems with it, and according
to the linux test suite LTP we are more correct in the mmap handling
now. I have some more fixes for -stable in the wings. I try to get some
time to polish them up and tell you where to download for a test.

Bye,
Alexander.
