I need to pay attention to editing. I installed nc on the machine after I realized why the test was failing, but didn't write things correctly after trying stuff.  The test passes after installing the nc rpm.

The log wasn't too helpful. When running the test by hand.  Looks like umodename(uaddrr()) == "<unknown>", so getting from

	  printf("%s@%x unknown\n", name, uaddr());

Yes, it appears to be running:

Looks very similar to PR4331 - systemtap.stress/current.stp need to be updated for s390x
Made clone: PR13734 - systemtap.stress/current.stp need to be updated for arm
