I believe it did.

Yes I am.

This line is "execve("/sbin/ip", ["/sbin/ip", "link", "list", "3"], [/*
20 vars */]) = 0" for me. I used the exact same syntax to run it.
The bulk of the rest is similar enough until the sendto line. I get
handle number 3 rather than 4, sizes are different, and the contents of
buffers have minor differences. It appears to bind to the socket it
eventually chokes on just fine.

Here I get "sendto(3,
"\24\0\0\0\22\0\1\3\205\241\3709\0\0\0\0\21\0\0\0", 20, 0,
