Hi Dan,

The correct way to do this would be like this:

::walk proc | ::head -n $[<n]

Unfortunately, that crashes mdb... The head dcmd only accepts a string
argument for -n. A good RFE would be to allow it to accept a number (and
a good bug would be for it to perform some error checking; see 6556507).
