These are all good points. The reason for the patch in the first place 
is the following bug.

So the question is do we change the bug report to really address the 
problems with bug_report.pl or apply the patch and start a new bug 
report. I think that the ideal would be to apply the patch and change 
the bug report. You are right in that it really needs improving and it 
only is usefull in the event of a crash and that happens less often 
these days.

I am more interested in getting the debuger to be more usefull. <grin>
