Redirect standard error to a file since strace writes its output to standard error: strace vi trace.log 2> strace.out then compare the strace.out on vi run as root to the strace.out on vi run as test. See if you can spot a difference. It's not easy. That may be a long shot but ... That's all I can help you out with. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable on the list knows why it would do that.
