[Bug 1766060] [NEW] Crash with "segmentation fault" executing strace with -S name switch

[grofaty]

Public bug reported:

Hi,
I am reading docker documentation https://training.play-with-docker.com/security-seccomp/ and there are samples how to use strace command for example to strace the whoami there is a sample to be run from terminal:
strace -c -f -S name whoami

When I execute this command every time error appears:
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

I tried:
strace -c whoami
works fine

I tried:
strace -c -f whoami
also works fine.

But:
strace -c -f -S name whoami
every time returns "segmentation fault".

It looks like "-S name" switch is the cause of the problem.

Regards
