  regcache_raw_read_unsigned (regcache, I386_EAX_REGNUM, &num);

  if (num > 499)
    {
      printf_unfiltered (_("Process record and replay target doesn't "
                           "support syscall number %d\n"), (int) num);
      return -1;
    }

  ret = record_linux_system_call ((int) num, regcache,

This num that will send to "record_linux_system_call" is 0 - 499.
So it don't have big or small trouble, right?
