Description

On Ubuntu 19.04 with rr 5.2 I get:

$ rr snap run gnome-calculator
rr: Saving execution to trace directory `/home/jrmuizel/.rr/snap-0'.

Research direction

Reproduce rr snap run gnome-calculator on Ubuntu 19.04 with rr 5.2 and inspect the failure at src/AutoRemoteSyscalls.cc:483, along with the AddressSpace::map_rr_page and post_exec_syscall frames shown in the trace. Done means snap applications can be recorded without the EACCES mmap assertion.
