There are some remaining issues with tracing of multi-process
applications. Firefox, because of its complexity, is a very good torture
test. I will dig into this this week. Thanks for the feedback.

Not sure if I understand what you mean. Batch analysis is the framework
on which the lttv textdump plugin is based. Do you mean you get nothing
in text dump? Or in your own custom plugin based on batch analysis.

Normally you should at least get events for tracefiles that have
non-zero size.
