Charlie,

I'm still learning my way around dtrace myself.

Unfortunately, the output of 'sudo dtruss ls' (which should be fairly
straightforward) seems to be jumbled - it looks like some of the
tracing got scheduled on two different CPUs, and some of the directory
lines are displayed after others.

If you want, you can check and see what happens on your system. If I
recall correctly from the config log, you also have multiple cores or
CPUs.

I am playing around with a few things here, and I will let you know
what I find out.
