    If you want to pull out just do so. However, if you need an excuse
    please try to use facts and not vapour: we do have a kernel debugger
    for instance. It's called KDB and has been around for quite a while,
    you just have to download it and patch your kernel for it (which is
    not an unreasonable request if you are working on the kernel in the
    first place).
