What would be nice is if it recorded the first part of a bug oops, and
ignored the later part of the dmesg. You know, the important stuff that
scrolls off the console. I hate it when people send me the last oops
message that was caused by three oops messages that happened before it.
Pretty much every screen shot that I received was of an oops that was
caused by a prior oops and was deemed useless.
