Hehe :) Weird coincidence that it occurred to me just yesterday how
easily I could accidentally paste something embarrassing in a reply
with this lousy touchpad I'm using now... I'm surprised that what
ended up there was actually somewhat insightful :) (I wanted to say
that the filename transition count could be useful if you were
analysing a core dump and looking at the struct values, but later I
changed my mind and removed it.)
