[H-GEN] Strace on a binary get full path details on a stat

Hi Anthony,

> stat("/opt/j2sdk1.4.../bin/java", 0xbfb06eb8) = -1 ENOENT (No such

My strace manpage says that trucated strings are displayed like this:

stat("/opt/foo/bar"...)

so I think you are actually seeing the full string. Also, strings are
only truncated above 32 characters by default.

Regardless, the option you asked about is -s, pass it a larger number
like 1024 and you'll know for sure you're seeing the full string.

My money is on a broken installer thing :)

cheers,
