 This is a GlobaLeaks system, try.globaleaks.org that have more than 1200
 evaluation whistleblowing sites.

 Trying profiling with strace and ltrace gives those data, if could be
 interesting to diagnose what's the issue:

 strace: Process 1516 attached
 strace: [ Process PID=1516 runs in x32 mode. ]
