Chris,
all I know is from the code too. You probably need to buffer the
output and wait for '\n' or ' ' to fully understand whether something is just a letter
or is a word. Also, why not write this as a user program for now (scanning
/var/log/messages) as that is a lot easier to debug than the kernel?
