I agree, and I'm awaiting the arrival of it in the tree. Unless then, =20 ktrace is the tool of choice. And even when dtrace hits the tree, alot =20 of people will still use ktrace for a quick look at the problem. So =20 why not polish it a little bit for the easy stuff and let people use =20 dtrace for the hard stuff?
