If only it didn't require running untrusted, binary code with superuser
privileges.

This is exactly why the source to tltrace is freely available for download
and public review.

Thanks for the pointer.

Where is this linked from the www.traceloop.com site? I can't find it. Also,
why is the version number different from the binary archive
(traceloop-0.12a.tar.gz)? It might be a good idea to provide a link to this
archive in the introductory email, for those of us who aren't running
Linux/i386. You might even get some help in the way of portability fixes.
