strange strace output
I've just got a Debian/SPARC machine running Stable and kernel 2.4.18. It
takes about 6 seconds for a simple ssh login, which seems too long, here's
the /proc/cpuinfo:
cpu : TI UltraSparc II (BlackBird)
fpu : UltraSparc II integrated FPU
promlib : Version 3 Revision 23
prom : 3.23.1
type : sun4u
ncpus probed : 2
ncpus active : 1
Cpu0Bogo : 878.18
Cpu0ClkTck : 000000001a3a4b6f
MMU Type : Spitfire
Now I did a strace -t of the ssh login, and it seems that the privsep process
is having a big delay on the brk() system call (or in the malloc library
related to it). Is this correct?
Also ltrace appears not to be available for SPARC, is this correct?

28) = 28
12:47:01 read(3, "\0\0\0\224", 4) = 4
12:47:01 read(3, "\5", 148) = 1
