RE: Tracing Requirements (was: [RFC/Requirements/Design] h/w errorreporting)

When I hear somebody say "flight recorder" - I think of "black boxes"
in airplanes that log data while the flight is running, and are only
looked at offline later.  So I'm confused by the "concurrent read/write"
requirement.

Perhaps you could explain the use cases of your "flight recorder",
because it seems that the name doesn't fit exactly, and this is
causing me (and maybe others) some confusion.

Thanks
