I am sorry if it came this way, and most like it was cocky.

I apologize. I felt the volume is turned up from your side and I
turned it up even further. I felt that I fell into Dave’s “trap”
(metaphorically) and it turned to be me adapting the kernel for
my needs - when it really isn’t.

Try to use gdb to disasm to address. It does not work. It’s an
exception (to the rule). The fix is easy.

Anyhow, that’s not the point - I just want to apologize. Thanks
for your involvement and support.
