You're right, I should have mentioned that detail initially, and I
apologize for the oversight.  Yes, we spoke about this at the
conference, but given that you haven't had time to respond to my
emails since then, I figured that you'd also be too busy to work on
the putback.  I'm certainly sympathetic to this, in light of the
upcoming release, and I also realize that this putback isn't the
highest priority item on the list.  But if someone else is available
to do this, I'd like to just be done with it.

Thanks,
Chad Mynhier

I totally agree-- and will see if I can help you locate someone...

That seems slightly unfair since we spoke in person at dtrace.conf,
and I apologized (and attempted to explain the reasons for) my slow progress on
this.

However, I agree that I'm overloaded with work on the May release at the moment;
is someone else available to shepherd this in?  We got the PSARC work done some
time ago, so this should be straightforward.

I'd like to make a second sponsor request for this.  It's been 5
months since I've had any email contact with my sponsor.

Thanks,

Certainly.  I'll follow up with you privately.

Thanks,

I'd like to request a sponsor for
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=4532599.  This is a bit
of an odd request given that RFE is marked "6-Fix Understood (Fix is
known)".  It appears that the responsible engineer has left Sun,
though, so I don't know what state it's actually in.  If possible, I'd
like to adopt (or hijack, if you prefer) this RFE.

I've posted a webrev for a solution here:
http://interstel.net/~mynhier/4532599/.  (Note that this webrev also
includes the fix for
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6234106 ("ptime should
report microseconds or nanoseconds instead of just milliseconds"), as
it seems pointless to have microstate stats at a millisecond
resolution.

Chad, I'm a bit busy but this is an area of interest for me.

I have a PSARC license and at least a passing familiarity with this
sort of code, so I can sponsor this if you wish.  Can we collaborate
on this?
