Relayfs data arrives in big per-cpu chunks. As the chunks arrive they

stpd merges all the datafiles together and writes to stdout. It doesn't
really make sense to stream data to stdout as it arrives for relayfs
because it will be out-of-order.
Thanks for your explanation. Anyway, what is the status of the stpd? I
just update my src with the latest in CVS, stpd hangs my system when I
press ctrl-c (running the same systrace module). It was just the stpd
hung, and I could kill it.
Thanks, Hien.
