What's the equivalent of strace in AIX (strace is the utility that tells
you what files are being opened and what system calls are being made, I
think).

You can use the AIX trace facility to check a number of things including
system calls. It can result in information overload though. TKG has a trace
tool that is very useful. Take a look at:

Is this standard in AIX 3.2.5? I can't find it in the man pages.
