I've built a simple program to record the last N lines(currently
5000...Suggestions?) of input... What I'd like to do is pipe STDIN and
STDERR to this program, but "|" doesn't do this, do you all have a
suggestion on how to do this? If I can then I can get you the system trace
and hopefully get this crash bug fixed.
