I remember now where I got the idea people don't want to hear about how
easily I can provoke "kernel NULL pointer dereference":
http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s4-3
includes such not-completely-true claims as:
"(REG) Don't even bother posting an Oops if you haven't run it through
ksymoops to decode the symbol addresses. The report will be ignored
because it contains too little useful information."
That was the convention I was trying to follow before I was told
differently.
