Hi, 

getting back to a very old question:

OK, so no access in probe context. But what about dtrace:::END? Although being 
called a probe, I guess it would be the place where the information required 
could be available (and accessed safely). Is that correct? 
Would it make sense to request that DTrace provides means to access the number 
of elements of an aggregation in dtrace:::END? It really would ease 
postprocessing of collected data.

Cheers, Manfred
