Re: "debug k" freezing Cisco routers?

["Shawn Merdinger" <shawnmer () gmail com>]

Hi Leif,

Please see FX's excellent coverage on this issue.  Sure, I
could/should post what version I'm working on, but this is private,
personal research, hence the vaugue description.  Plus, I _know_ there
are plenty of folks out there _much_ smarter than myself on this kind
of research, so I'm just posting a "Hey, I'm seeing this, anyone
else?"

Folks, give "debug kernel" a try like FX mentioned and see what
happens.  It worked with "debug k" on my version I'm working on, but
that's a Cisco question I guess.

Kindest regards,
--scm
