Subject: [ltt-dev] [PATCH] Fix bug in lttv from 0.12.0 to 0.12.10
Message-ID: <20090218053131.GA32359@Krystal>

Hi,

I found a nasty event id / timetamping bug in lttv. Basically, when
enough events were registered in a channel to come up to IDs 29, 30 and
31, there were side-effects on how the timestamp update was done for the
specific event because the event id was overwritten by the case 29: in
the switch() before the test done later in a if() statement. LTTV
0.12.11 fixes this. For reference, here is the diff.

Mathieu, getting back to timestamp-sanity land.
