I already wrote about these two; no errors appear in any log or the
console. strace's novel finishes with:

.............
<lots of rt_sigprocmask() calls>
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x8004599e, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x4009e1e8}, {SIG_DFL},
8) = 0
waitpid(-1, 

(the output is really "cut" right there).

What exactly should I look for in gdb? The binary is stripped, shall I
rebuild?

I have some grsec's features compiled in the kernel, but no additional
tuning has been made. This sounds likely a cause, thank
you for the tip, I'll check this stuff out as soon as I can.
