Hi, David

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I don't oppose to adding my signature, but, I just think
that, maybe it doesn't make sense to add my signature.

If you like the improvement suggestions, can you please post it again with or without
my signature?

Crash utility really needs the fix ASAP. :-)

Thanks.
Lianbo
