>Description:

	systrace_enter() permits strp to become NULL at function exit, but
	the emulation handling code does not account for this.

>How-To-Repeat:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dev/systrace.h>

#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>


#define X(x)	if ((x) < 0) err(1, "failure: %s", ""#x);

int
main()
{
	int fd;
	pid_t pid;

	X(pid = fork());
	if (pid == 0) {
		for (;;)
			sleep(600);
		_exit(1);
	}

	/* parent */
	X(fd = open("/dev/systrace", O_RDONLY, 0));
	X(ioctl(fd, STRIOCATTACH, &pid));
	X(fork());
	X(ioctl(fd, STRIOCDETACH, &pid));
	X(ioctl(fd, STRIOCATTACH, &pid));
	X(ioctl(fd, STRIOCDETACH, &pid));
	X(ioctl(fd, STRIOCATTACH, &pid));
	exit(0);
}
