It might be me, but I find it a bit odd that you didn't do anything with this fix. I'm sure that for each alternate profiler posted on SF there are ten half-finished ones on somebody's box. The problem of hotshot producing slightly wrong data is not new, and in hindsight the discrepencies only became larger in 2.4 with the introduction of new tracing events (C function calls). At this point I'm interpreting your mail as saying that you don't really mind if hotshot is in the standard library or not, because you are using your own fixed version anyway. Nobody is proposing to wipe out hotshot from the face of the planet. Sorry if I sound offensive, but I'd rather hear the opinion of people that care about the stdlib.
