[ltt-dev] Incomplete Traceset statistics on 2.6.27.10?

Hello,

I am playing with lttng 0.72 (patch-2.6.27.10-lttng-0.72) on 2.6.27.10 
kernel. I'm using ltt-control-0.64-14012009 and lttv-0.12.7-20012009. I 
followed this instruction: 
http://ltt.polymtl.ca/svn/trunk/lttv/LTTngManual.html#section1. (I did do 
ltt-armall before starting the trace)

I am expecting to see more information in the Traceset statistics, but 
they seem to be blank. What should a working trace data look like? (I 
can't imagine that this is it.)

This is the output after doing lttv textDump.

...

I originally tried lttng on sles 11 rc1 and rc2, but had this result. I am 
surprised to see the same thing happening with the mainline kernel. So, 
whatever it is that I am doing wrong, I seems to be repeating it 
successfully each time.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.
