i get (uniprocessor):

$ uname -srm
NetBSD 1.6I i386
$ ident /sys/kern/kern_systrace.c
$NetBSD: kern_systrace.c,v 1.18 2002/10/11 21:54:57 provos Exp $
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=.systrace/bin_ls bs=500 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
500 bytes transferred in 0.003 secs (166666 bytes/sec)
$ systrace ls
.systrace/bin_ls:1: syntax error.
[ui kicks in for mmap(2) as expected]

have you got a back trace from ddb? does systrace work normally otherwise?
