In the codebase, I noticed that "Process %u detached" is being printed
using error_msg() which explicitly sends the output to stderr. Syscall
decodings, on the other hand, are printed to tcp->outf. So, when using
strace with the -o option, the  "Process %u detached" is not printed to
the file.

In the tests that I have written for the -l option, when run_strace() is
called in init.sh, the "Process %u detached" line will not be printed to
$LOG.

Is it alright if these lines are omitted in $LOG when running the tests?

Sahil
