Something odd is going on then. Here's where we dig deeper. Run the following
commands:

# stap -p4 -m renamemod -F -o f.out -S 1,3 -e 'probe timer.ms(10) { for (j = 0;
j < 1000; j++) printf("1234567890\n") } probe timer.sec(5) { exit() }'
# sudo strace -f -ff -o strace.out /usr/local/bin/staprun -o f.out -R -S 1,3
renamemod.ko

If you are running the version of systemtap that came with Ubuntu, you'd change
the last command to:

# sudo strace -f -ff -o strace.out /usr/bin/staprun -o f.out -R -S 1,3
renamemod.ko

That should probably produce around 5 strace.out.PID files. Please attach those
to this bug. When I look for references to f.out.* files in my strace.out.*
files, I see the following:

# egrep 'f.out.[0-9]' strace.out.*
strace.out.29488:open("/home/dsmith/f.out.0",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 6
strace.out.29491:open("/home/dsmith/f.out.1",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 6
strace.out.29491:open("/home/dsmith/f.out.2",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 6
strace.out.29491:unlink("/home/dsmith/f.out.0")          = 0
strace.out.29491:open("/home/dsmith/f.out.3",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 6
strace.out.29491:unlink("/home/dsmith/f.out.1")          = 0
strace.out.29491:open("/home/dsmith/f.out.4",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 6
strace.out.29491:unlink("/home/dsmith/f.out.2")          = 0
strace.out.29491:open("/home/dsmith/f.out.5",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 6

One possibility here might be that opening of 'f.out.1' is failing somehow for
you, so stap keeps writing to 'f.out.0'.
