   Yes, by adding a version record. If that record is absent, then we fall

i don't think you understood what i asked.  can you make it such
that with:

	- older userland (ktrace/kdump)

	- new kernel

running the old kdump on the new ktrace.out file would cause it
to fail gracefully, rather than report crap.
