Hmm... that is very weird. That should not happen. Because the
syscall_cp macro already contains a call to __syscall_ret(), which does
exactly what you propose. So that means, there is something else going
on in your copy of the code. Did you change anything about the source
code? Or can you disassemble the function to see what it does?
