It's a PIE binary. We don't handle those. I posted a patch a couple
years ago, but it never got integrated and would be obsolete by now.
I'll add that to my TODO, but that touches on a more general problem of
tracing PLT calls from shared libraries in general, and that requires a
bit more thorough solution than the quick hack that I posted back then.
