BTW, should /dev/kmem work also? It fails for me on Win2k '/dev/kmem:
No such device or address'. I don't know if it's important, but here's
"ls -l /dev/kmem", just in case:

As I've reported already, this isn't entirely fixed. Anything I can do to
help debug this? It'd be great if this could be fixed in 1.5.10...
Other than the above, the snapshot seems to be working great so far.
