ok.. I understand the intent, but that doesn't really help in many situations. I, too, can have my own setup at home (and give myself what I want) but I can't set up the whole development environment that I'm working on offsite, limiting the troubleshooting usefulness of dtrace. I guess I'm looking for a way to look into the kernel state without necessarily being able to look into *all* kernel state - ie: selectively for all processes that I control. I don't know how feasible something like this would be, but it would be extremely useful for lots of larger development environments.
