I may have missed some context here, but it seems more than nice in that it enables one to conveniently get that information from a crash dump. In other words, I don't think presence of a userland utility is the only (or even primary) factor; it's really about how important the information is to someone diagnosing a problem using the dump. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
