Understood.
I still have one aspect of tracepoints that I couldn't figure out,
though. The original paper about tracepoints (presented by Jim and
Michael during some conference, I think) mentions a program called
``Introspect'' which serves as the remote agent for tracepoints. Is
it indeed needed, and if so, where is its source?
