I notice that as of sbin/savecore/savecore.c 1.72 and in 5.4-RELEASE savecore increments the number in /var/crash/bounds on each boot, regardless of whether it rebooted due to panic or was a clean shutdown. Is this the desired behaviour or an unintentional side effect? We've been monitoring the value in bounds to detect panics, which of course doesn't work anymore. -- Ed Maste, Sandvine Inc.
