Today I did `yum remove strace', which was Version : 4.5.18 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 2.el5_3.3 Build Date: Wed 04 Feb 2009 01:01:31 PM CST and then did `yum install strace', which is Version : 4.5.18 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 5.el5 Build Date: Fri 19 Jun 2009 10:47:00 AM CDT On the other box where I had strace release 2.el5_3.2 with Build Date: Wed 07 Jan 2009, I also removed it and installed the latest. Both problems I reported earlier are gone.
