I am one of the TotalView developers, and we'd
love to fix these problems. So, if you have
reproducers we can look at, please let us have them and we'll try to get the problems in TV fixed...

Which is all fine, and I agree that if you don't put in effort you won't get a response, except that it's very _hard_ (verging on impossible) to find out who might be interested in this. The MAINTAINERS file doesn't mention this area of the kernel. The trap.c file doesn't have a maintainer listed in it. So, maybe I'm supposed to mail Linus, but that seems very unlikely, as the person at the top of the tree he's surely the most overloaded...
I'll happily buy Alan quite a few beers if
he wants to come over to Bristol.
We could probably arrange a Bristol Linux User
group meeting too (in a pub !)
My assertion that Alan "rejects mail" is based on
this quote from his diary entry for July 17 on the UK linux site
Due to the amount of spam I get without ORBS filtering Im going to be implementing draconian filtering. Basically if you aren't
someone who regularly mails me - tough you'll probably never get a reply now.
I don't see a maintainer's name even in 2.4.0-test7. All there is is a log that Gareth Hughes added PII SSE support. I don't think
that makes him the maintainer...
Indeed so, but the _other_ bug (which causes
watchpoints to be ignored) has not.
Since I mailed a patch for that in June I'd
expected to hear _something_ by now !
