>Description:
	If you ktruss a program that tries to read a sparse file, then
	ktruss aborts with the error "ktruss: data too short"
	returning you to your shell prompt, but leaving the program
	still running.
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ echo x >x
	$ echo x | dd of=x seek=10240*10240
	$ ktruss hexdump x
	ktruss: data too short
	$ ps | grep hexdump
	190170 pa R    0:01.86 hexdump x
	$

	Note that ktruss exits but hexdump is still active.
>Fix:
	If ktruss does abort tracing it should probably wait for
	the traced program to exit.
	It probably should also not abort the trace at that point.
