Something occurred to me while reading this.  This works only if you
run kdump on the same system you ran ktrace on.

Wouldn't it be better to have ktrace emit a special record the first
time any given <emulation,syscall> pair is emitted, giving the name of
that syscall?  I wouldn't expect this means too much bookkeeping in the
kernel, though I must admit I haven't looked at it.  But it would make
ktrace.out files entirely self-contained.

Of course, still better - at least in some respects - would be for me
to get off my tush and port my ptrace changes to -current, so we can
have _real_ syscall tracing :-/
