strace and threads

[Josef Moellers]

I've found a problem when trying to strace pthreaded processes:

The global variable tcbtabsize is set from argc.
If a running threaded process is to be straced, (strace -p <pid>) it may 
require more than 3 tcbs, especially if it has more than 3 threads. 
Since argc is 3, strace will fail with "out of memory" when the 4th 
thread is to be attached.

Wouldn't it be better to defer the decision on the number of tcbs until 
this can be determined exactly or to realloc() tcbtab if necessary?
