:It's amazing to see on the same X screen,
:1/ The xserver of the virtual BSD box
:2/ the console in another window, (which can be sent into DDB if needed)
:3/ a 3rd window running xxgdb, single stepping the kernel with source

:4/ some othe rwindow on the host system, completely unaffected.

I can just see all the coolness seeping out. Now guys, we have to
have as a goal something at least as comparable as what IBM did

Once we fix the deadlocks, that is.
