I agree that it would not help in all cases.

In this case it would have helped, though. The machine is running,
syslog is doing its job -- that is how I got the sysrq-T output.

So if kbd had support for that, we could have saved ourselves the
trouble of taking a photograph of the screen and mailing that around.

Speaking of which: Since you told me that you did not see it, I just
resent it, please let me know whether it reaches you this time.

Georg
