-Rick Sladkey <jrs@world.std.com>
+On UnixWare using the -f option to follow forked children sometimes shows
+many "unfinished" system calls as strace bounces between each runnable child.
+A crude workaround for this is available by adding
+
+    #define POLL_HACK 1
+
+to the config.h file.  This forces strace to check whether the last process
+has finished a system call before polling other processes for events.
