Two problems: truss get confused when you attach to a process that's currently executing a syscall, and it gets even more confused when you have a threaded process waiting in many syscalls at once. The following patch fixes problem #1, but problem #2 involves keeping more per-thread state and ends up touching a lot of the truss code. See http://www.evoy.net/FreeBSD/truss.diff for one solution (and more syscall decodes).
