Hi Hans,

Please provide the version numbers you use for both lttng-tools and
lttng-ust. The lttng.org website lists the latest lttng-ust as 2.0.5,
which leads me to think you might have forgotten to upgrade it.

Don't forget to restart your test application (just to be sure, rebuild
it against the new lttng-ust). Also make sure you kill all
lttng-sessiond that might still be active.

Thanks,

Mathieu
