"Run the <something> chain . . . " also assumes several things:
1. That you know how to follow a system control block chain 2. That you know how to use IPCS or similar memory-viewing software to follow such chains 3. That you have access to use that memory-viewing software at all 4. That you have authorized access to use that memory-viewing software to examine address spaces other than your own. That's a lot of assumptions. Many people on this list probably fit in all of them, but some of us don't (e.g., I only fit in items 1 and 2 above).

I don't think that follows. "Run the <something>" is a common expression which I've known as long as I used IPCS, where it'd mean chain through successive instances of some arbitrary control block looking for something. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
