ok...
I compliled and installed the latest git yesterday evening and another one
this morning because of a configuration mistake I made

there are new DWARFs but the one I reported for 2.6.18 seem to be fixed
at least I diden't succeed in triggering it

the new ones are in
http://www.lorenz.eu.org/~mlo/kernel/dmesg_2.6.19-rc2-tp-ie-e1-42.5+0737-gce9e3d99-dirty.run
http://www.lorenz.eu.org/~mlo/kernel/dmesg_2.6.19-rc2-tp-ie-e1-42.5+0737-gce9e3d99-dirty.boot

http://www.lorenz.eu.org/~mlo/kernel/interrupts_2.6.19-rc2-tp-ie-e1-42.5+0737-gce9e3d99-dirty
is there too
