My strace seems to be a bit more verbose.   The last printed line is the same, but yours looks hung and mine gets a zillion of these SIGVTALRMs.
here is the beginning of the end (alpha omega):

write(2, "(II) ", 5(II) )                    = 5
write(0, "(II) ", 5)                    = 5
write(2, "TDFX(0): ", 9TDFX(0): )                = 9
write(0, "TDFX(0): ", 9)                = 9
write(2, "Textures Memory 7.00 MB\n", 24Textures Memory 7.00 MB
) = 24
write(0, "Textures Memory 7.00 MB\n", 24) = 24
brk(0x8509000)                          = 0x8509000
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])
brk(0x850c000)                          = 0x850c000
mmap(0, 36864, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x44193000
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) ---
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])

[these signals repeat ad nauseum]
