Keep in mind that the crash utility is a simple user-space program that happens to read kernel memory. It is not a kernel debugger. Setting breakpoints/watch points requires the capability of modifying kernel memory, setting up kernel handlers to respond to the breakpoint interrupts, etc. > Do you accept the changes/contribution to crash ? Sure -- if you check the archives, you can see that posting patches is one of the primary purposes for this mailing list.
