And for having screwed it up originally ;) >From a makedumpfile/crash-utility viewpoint, I don't deny kernel improvement and probably the change will not be hard for them to support, but I'd like you to remember that the tool users will need to update them for the change. The situation where we need to update the tools for new kernels is usual, but there are not many cases that they cannot even start session, and this change will cause it. Personally I wonder the change is worth forcing users to update them.
