Before we start signalling the apocolypse of FreeBSD because an out of date 
port was not updated on somebodies system, let us gather our wits about us.

I am the maintainer of strace and I  came in late on this thread. The port was 
updated last on December 30, and AFAIK 4.5.7 works on supported platforms.

I may be some naive Canadian kid, however, the last time I checked, accepted 
practises what they are, if you have an issue/problem/concern with a port, 
you follow up with the port maintainer first. Unfortunately, I only found out 
about this issue via a pop-up in IRC, informing me there was something 
brewing in -current, and I should check it out.

I have read John Baldwin's email about patches he has, and now that I know, I 
will investigate.

Anyway, I will step out of the pulpit now.
