That is rather inconvenient.

I'm curious. Any reason that nobody implemented something to do this?

I would assume that a kdb buffer that is reserved at startup,
initalized with 0s and into which only kdb can write during debugging.

When kdb is left and the buffer is different from 0, the contents are
dumped to dmesg/syslog.

This appears to me like it would be a rather simple solution to avoid
having to send around pictures or using a second computer...


 nc> If you do a photo, just send it to me, please.

Just did that. Please confirm that you got it and it did not get stuck
anywhere on the way.

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Georg
