The "-s" option under Linux, from the "strace" package, will let you specify the width:

-s strsize  Specify  the  maximum  string  size  to  print  (the
            default is 32).  Note that filenames are not consid-
            ered strings and are always printed in full.

The process seems to be stuck in a single long-running syscall. Since strace doesn't show the syscall that was running, when it attached the process, you get no output. You could maybe get more info using a debugger like gdb and running a stack trace (gdb command: bt).

Linux – How to get PIDs waiting on a semaphore

Quick and dirty:

#include <sys/sem.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    int pid;
    if (argc != 2) return 1;
    pid = semctl(atoi(argv[1]), 0, GETPID);
    printf("%d\n", pid);
    return 0;
}

(I'm guessing here.)
