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).
