Looking at the tr file, it appears that there was already a directory confdir3 
when you ran the strace step, and this directory messed up the test. Please 
remove that directory (or rename it) and then re-run the "strace -o tr ./a.out". 
As before, the strace should also hang so you may need to type control-C to exit 
it after a while. Look at the resulting 'tr' file and compare it to the 
compressed file tr.gz I sent you earlier.

That difference is unimportant. I'm concerned more about what happens after the 
long string of mkdir/chdir calls, which should occur once you get confdir3 out 
of the way.
