Please go back further in the trace file. There must be a return
value of -1 (EISDIR) somewhere in the file, try to locate that.

The fragment you quote only refers to the part where it tries to
format the traceback. The value '4' is never written, instead,
it writes 4 spaces (the second argument is the bytes, the third
is the number of bytes).
