i've tuned the script to have the maximum buffer size of 256 megabyte via
#pragma D option dynvarsize=256m
#pragma D option specsize=256m
...still the buffers seem to be too small.
also...even after installing a fresh kernel and world with dtrace enabled,
the "check_error.d" and "trace_futexes.d" fail and sometimes even render
the flash instance unusable.
cheers.
