If you need to get a ktrace for a program that is started by a script
and/or another program - ie where it is difficult to modify the argument
list - you can use:

# cd directory_where_program_binary_is
# mv progam_binary program_binary.real
# cat >program_binary <<EOF
#! /bin/sh
exec ktrace -o log_file full_path_to_program.real "$@"
EOF
#

Dunno if this will help.....
