i'm really sorry, but this is a problem ~ 90% of desktop users have:

1) we only have 1 computer
2) we can't access our computer via some other box via ssh or something
3) we don't have serial cables or firewire cables

so it seems in this situation a complete deadlock *cannot* be analyzed. the
idea of dumping the memory to a usb stick after a hard reboot thus seems so
attractive to users like me.

still the question is: how can we use such a complete memory dump? i don't
think it's as easy as loading it into kdb, is it?

cheers.
