I got a segfault here:

It was because, as I said, my system doesn't have pread64 syscall.. you
missed to decrease rec_argc when skipping invalid events. :)

After fixing the problem, I could run timechart and generate an
output.svg file.  But it doesn't show any IO activity.. process info was
there in grey boxes (rect.process3) but no color boxes.  I also tried
recording with ping and dd, but the result was same.  I suspect it's
because of some mis-calculation of position or size of the boxes.

Thanks,
Namhyung
