bash: !someActualEvent: event not found

Don't you hate errors like this?
$ strace -etrace=!futex -p 3181
bash: !futex: event not found
If this happens to you do not worry. Just escape the bang (!) like this:
$ strace -etrace=\!futex -p 3181
Process 3181 attached - interrupt to quit
The strace man page is wrong for bash. Imagine that.

Hope that helps.
