Hi Peter,

On my setup after some time the space occupied by stack traces stabilizes
to the following:

# grep stack /proc/lockdep_stats
stack-trace entries: 169456 [max: 524288]
number of stack traces: 9073
number of stack hash chains: 6980

I think these numbers show that there are some but not too many hash
collisions (the code for the hash statistics was added after I e-mailed my
patch).

Bart.
