Hi Jonathan,
i'm using 2.6 and will be difficult for me to upgrade to 2.7
Is there any known issue or bug in this area?
I was getting help from Anand on a different thread to solve this, but i'm
still seeing the issue.

Hi Jam/Anand(?)

Can you reproduce this against lttng 2.7 or master (ust/tools) ?

Thanks
