Could also be that the userspace isn't set up quite right - i.e. the
wrong syscall numbers listed in the include files or libraries.  But
yes, it called a syscall number that is not defined.  Could've been
worse, it could have called a syscall # for a different syscall, that
can get tough to diagnose :)
