Agreed. It was this suggestion that I was looking for -- I am not
intimately familiar with GDB and did not know about batch mode. I'll
follow up with your suggestion regarding looking to the 'kamctl trap'
facility for an example.
I didn't mean for this to turn adversarial. I'm sorry for any offence I
may have caused. I think what we are encountering is the typical tension
in exotic, difficult-to-reproduce bugs, where, from a technical and
rationalistic perspective, reports without empirical details are
useless, while the human and political realities of getting them -
profoundly irrational - intercede. For instance, I now have to figure
out how to convince one of the users to allow me to turn asynchronous
processing back on so I can utilise your suggestions, which is a problem
that benefits from a vastly different skill set, and is at times
stubbornly impervious to rational appeal.
