 OK, so now I've got around to reading the fine man page [read - "how
many times do I have to sit around compiling 2.4.26 to get it right ?"
;-)], this is for reporting an oops.  On the boxes where I care,
ksymoops does this after the sad event.  For people who don't frequent
the kernel mailing list, or who don't expect to have oopses on a regular
basis, there doesn't seem to be a benefit to this.  Or am I
misunderstanding ?
