Title:
  Crash with "segmentation fault" executing strace with -S name switch

Status in strace package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,
  I am reading docker documentation https://training.play-with-docker.com/security-seccomp/ and there are samples how to use strace command for example to strace the whoami there is a sample to be run from terminal:
  strace -c -f -S name whoami

  When I execute this command every time error appears:
  "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

  I tried:
  strace -c whoami
  works fine

  I tried:
  strace -c -f whoami
  also works fine.

  But:
  strace -c -f -S name whoami
  every time returns "segmentation fault".

  It looks like "-S name" switch is the cause of the problem.

  Regards
