Hi,
	I've come across some bugs on my test rig where the oops didn't 
make any sense at all, after trawling through a couple of megs of debug 
output in the logs i came across the previous oops... This is only after
spending a considerable amount of time trying to make sense of a useless 
oops. I also think this would be of use when handling general bug 
reports, this way we'd be able to determine wether the system was in an 
uknown state when the oops was dumped, and perhaps try and get further 
information from the bug reporter.

	Zwane
