This piece:

	movl %esi,4(%esp)		/* 5th arg: 4th syscall arg */
	movl %edx,(%esp)		/* 4th arg: 3rd syscall arg */

looks like it's overwriting syscall arguments.

This is clearly fixable, but an even better fix would be to drop the asm
entirely and switch to two-phase tracing.  Want to do it?  I can test
the seccomp bits if you switch over the asm :)
